The Big Read meme
1) Look at the list and bold those you have read.
2) Italicize those you intend to read.
3) Underline the books you LOVE.
4) Reprint this list in your own LJ
NOTE: I'm too HTML lazy to bold and italicize the ones I've read and liked, so if I've bolded it just assume I loved it. Unless I say otherwise.
