What would your list look like? I borrowed this from someone in the blog-o-sphere. It reminded me of books I forgot or want to add to my reading list. There are several books that aren’t on this list, that I have read, but just aren’t on this list.Look at the list of books below.

So back to the original question. What would this list say about me? This list would probably tell you I’ve read a lot of SF & Fantasy books, thrillers, some of the classics and novels. But I’ve read a lot more; I am a real book worm! Give me a good book and I am a very happy girl :) Hmmz…. I guess it tells you.... zilch ;)

Our lists are not too dissimilar!
I think there's a big difference between what men read and what women read. Of that list, I can do Tolkien, Herbert, Adams, Rowling, Heller, even Atwood. The rest I have no idea. Except Brown, who I avoid on purpose;-)
i have not read a single Harry Potter. wonder what that says about me? too many favorites to pick from your list & i realized i have read most of them *beams*
p/s maybe it means u are pragmatic on the outside but a dreamy romantic inside?
Hmmm, started doing the list here, but guess I shouldn't take up all that room! ;)
Okay, I'll do it on my own blog soon.
Dakota, what are some of your favourite books that weren't included on this list?
Oh, I haven't read a single Harry Potter book either.
Wow, what a list!
I've read all the LOTR and the Hobbit and the Da Vinci Code... That's about it... so I wont do the list, it would be rather unboldified :]
Our list is very similar, Aoj. Thanks for playing :)
Lol avoiding Brown! I’ve read most of the Brown books before it turned into a hype, Lord Hutton. Oh and I agree, I think men read other books then women.
You haven’t read any of the Harry Potter books, Boo? Hmmz….. I guess you lost your inner child. Nah….it’s still there, it has to be!
On the other hand you did read most of the other books on the list……I can only say WOW!
I can’t wait to see your list, KJ’s Muse. I had to think a bit about some of my favourites but here is a short list of books I really liked (in random order)
Empress Orchid by Anchee Min
The Traveller by John Twelve Hawks
The brief history of the dead by Kevin Brockmeier
Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami
The brief history of the dead by Kevin Brockmeier
The wheel of time series by Robert Jordan
I also like most of the books by Nicci French and Marianne Fredriksson
Strange I’ve seen that same comment earlier today, DoGGa ;)
I picked this up on Andre's site and it will appear on mine probably tomorrow! (Andre just happens to be above you on my blogroll)
That's okay, Snowqueen. Thanks for playing along :)
Thanks for the short list and links Dakota. I'll check 'em out. And I WILL post my own list soon as well. :)
I am looking forward to it, KJ’s Muse :)
Finally got the list posted! ;)
And I checked out your links. Kafka on the Shore looks like something I'd really enjoy. Thanks for the fun meme!
Yeah, you did it!! I am a bit stressed for time at the moment, KJ’s Muse but I’ll take a look at it later today :)
