Bold the crap you've read, underline if you've liked it.

did it,for some reason i couldn't un-bold your choice so went to html,it totally screwed up the formatting,gave up. XD
Gah,I hate rich formatting/html combo sometimes.XD

p.s. you really liked Catcher in the Rye? ;)

[de1iriumgirly]

Haha, I did like it at the time of reading. But that was when puberty first started ;) I should re-read, yeah.

After many infuriating tries I'm convinced that once you bold something in LJ post...you can never ever ever unbold it :P

But you can copy the list in a word or notepad document and then in LJ :) (I'm thrilled to know your list too, not that I think you couldn't figure it out *g*)

And btw I've read somewhere about your loathing for Catcher in the Rye *g* You are like my brother - he hated it so much in the first something-pages that he couldn't finish it. And since the best thing is in the end of the book I made a deal with him years ago that he should read it again - to the end - if I read Salems Lot (which I was prejudiced about).

Well, both of us still haven't done either, though I guess I'll read Salems - my prejudices are long gone about it :). (but I understand what's annoying in C in the Rye anyway. Yet, I adore his short stories... hmm, I should reread the Catcher myself)

So you went trough all the thousands of pages of LOTR to...not like it? :P Couldn't you just give it up at some point? :)

Really, I think I haven't read to the end a book I didn't like apart from some school obligatoions. (But eventually I like even most of them too). Well, The Heart is a Lonely Hunter I read to the end but wasn't very good :P

I've read Little Women and Jane Eyre I guess 4 times each (most of the times as a kid)... and I pretty much like Of Mice of Men (just like any other Steinbeck I've read. The others I like more actually).

I'm a fan of all which you've underlined, except for #25 i 69 which I haven't read. Ugh, and #8. :D

It's quite impressive that you managed to read Moby Dick. I wasn't aware it was possible :P

And overall I think the situation is not for a "dammit"; it seems to me that you can be proud of your reading experiense considering your age :P (spoke she as a true granny *g*) I think I'd score a little less than 28 in this list.:P

LOTR.. well it's not that I didn't like it. I just... didn't like it enough to underline :) And I admit I may have skipped ahead
