I have never tried one of these list memes before. Thank you, Ms. Literary Feline (who got this meme from Bookfool). Apparently if you read it, you are automatically tagged! So, I guess that means if you are reading MY list, then you are tagged as well!!
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. If you are reading this (and haven't participated yet), tag, you’re it! **If there are any books on this list that I didn't italicize and you think I should read, let me know in comments! (on a side note, I high-lighted in blue the books that I actually have on some challenge lists for the year!!) Sounds like fun, right? Right!! It's a strange list of books, I'm not really sure where they came from. Some Classics, some bestseller, some award winners. Very Ecclectic!!

Did you like the Lord of the Rings books, Stephanie? If so, you really should read The Hobbit. If you didn't like the books, then I wouldn't recommend it. :-)
Looking at what you have read and comparing them to those you haven't marked as being interested in, you might try Pillars of the Earth. It's a long book, but has a wonderful story.
It's been fun seeing what everyone's listing and marking books off under. :-)
I've done a similar meme/list before but intesting to see the same books again. I've read 22 in total, including 5 of the top 10. There's lots I want to read but I'm sure you're aware there are so many books, so little time to read them! :-)
Hey Stephanie, I've read exactly 50 of the books on your list, and there are 6 that I want to read. The ones on this list are all over the place, classics and chick lit and science fiction and popular books and one children's book (Charlotte's Web). Most of them are novels, though not all (the Bible, for instance). So I made a slight change (no, a radical change) at Bonnie's Books and listed 100 books of my own choosing. Come see my list and tell me how many of THOSE you have read.
Hi, Stephanie, you may want to re-do your count of books you've read from my list of 100 ... I was changing some of the titles even as you posted your comment. Thanks for visiting my blog.
You might like 'The Lovely Bones' and 'Life of Pi'. I highly recommend them.
I finally got off my tookus and did this meme. I've read more than I thought.
I did mine on the blog. I've read 30.
Hi... I have been busy, only read one book this month! I just wanted to show you that I am alive and that I promise to have American Gods done by the end of March.... Likely before because I am almost done now. Well, if I get reading time of course.
I've read 41 off this list and can second the recommendation for Pillars of The Earth, although a long book. But after War and Peace, who's afraid of long books, right? LOL!
Wow, I've read 34 of those. Just reading through your list made me want to read 34 more. love it!
wow, I've only read 15 of those books. And i read ALL the time. there are TOO many books out there!
