Oh dear, I've not read nearly as many as I would love to claim. Although, many of these are on my TBR list.
I'm a few meager pages away from finishing Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut, so I will post on that later this week in honor of Banned Books Week.
I also received some gift cards to Barnes and Noble for my birthday not too long ago, so perhaps I will go out and buy as many of these books as possible this week.... perhaps.
And, once I have a second to figure out why the formatting on this post is so funky, I shall fix it, but until then, I must be off to work.

So, on to reading!
I've read 28 of these, and another 4 are on my TBR pile. This is a great list of books, too.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read nearly enough. I did just finish Slaughterhouse Five though... it wasn't really what I had been expecting it to be, but it was still good.
