A Literary Meme

I stole it from NailPolishNeuroses. She's fantabulous.

Meme instructions: Look at the list of books below. Bold the ones you've read, italicize the ones you might read, cross out the ones you won't, place an asterick* after the ones on your book shelf, and place (parentheses) around the ones you've never even heard of.

The Da Vinci Code - Dan Brown [Bad. But I had to read it to see what all the fuss was about. Good story, poor writing.]
The Catcher in the Rye - J.D. Salinger
The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy - Douglas Adams
The Great Gatsby - F.Scott Fitzgerald
To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee

Animal Farm: A Fairy Story - George Orwell*
