I'm working on the second to last Christmas gift, and then I can resume "me" knitting. That means more interesting posts for you all! Won't you be happy when I'm done with X-mas:) Anyway, you all know how I love memes. Here's one (from Bronx Girl Knits) for those who like books. If we added some academic books to this list, I would look way more well-read!
The Rules:
- bold the books you’ve read
- italicize the ones you want to read
- strike through the ones blank that you have don't want to read
- leave blank those you have no interest in or knowledge of
- asterisk anything you started but didn't finish

Too bad there aren't more audio books or willing read out loud types so we can knit AND read.
I'd imagine your list would indeed be far longer if it included more academia.
I didn't know you read "To Kill A Mockingbird," My Little One. Great novel. Great movie, for that matter, with Greg Peck in the lead role. Isn't your bold list much longer. I remember you reading a lot of books. - Mom
Happy birthday....us!!!! :)
(Go knitters... it's your birthday, it's your birthday!!!)
Not a big Harry Potter fan, huh? I actually did read The Bourne Identity and thought is was pretty interesting. I was very surprised!
