2) Italicize those you intend to read.
3) Underline the books you LOVE, add an strikeout the books you read but didn't like.
4) Reprint this list in your own LJ so we can try and track down these people who've read only 6 or less and force books upon them ;-)
( Long list goes here )
I like seeing that these lists keep getting less and less Anglo-centric, but I'd still like to see more variety. Where are all the Germans, for example? How does Hermann Hesse never make it to these memes? I'm not annoyed, just... confused. You get Hamlet and LWW technically listed twice, you get several books by the same authors (and not just English-speaking authors; García Márquez is up there twice) and you get no Demian or Steppenwolf or Siddharta? How?
(Also... am I the only person in Latin America who doesn't like García Márquez? I mean, I know he's good and I understand his importance but he puts me to sleep.)
