You are supposed to take the list and bold the books you have read and highlight the ones you would like to read. I got this from Kitchen Madonna.

This is an interesting list for the choices that are on it and for the books that were left off of it. Why, why why so darn much Jane Austen for instance and not a single book by Morris West? I am just asking? Anyway, these are my answers. If anyone wants to play they are welcome to grab a tag and play along.
