Books O Rama

What do the books I've read say about me? What would your list look like?

I borrowed this from someone in the blog-o-sphere since it reminded me of books I want to add to my reading list. Look at the list of books below.

  • Bold the ones you've read
  • Italicize the ones you want to read
  • Leave blank the ones that you aren't interested in.

Do with this information what you will. I don't tag people, but feel free to play along. I guess I'm cheating a little, but I'm also counting books on tape. I figure it's still "reading" if you're stuck in traffic enjoying a book. Plus, it's really the only way that I gotthrough the LOTR trilogy. Those are starred and bolded...
