In the spirit of crazy re-reading to write papers (I should be able to finish them tonight or tomorrow morning! Fantastic!), I found a book meme floating around... Ah, fiction! I'm so looking forward to a chance to read something other than school books - as soon as the new quarter starts I'll have a bit of time to read for fun. Anyway, here goes:
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, put an asterisk by the ones on your book shelf, and place parentheses around the ones you've never even heard of.

I also have a music one! I put my music library on "play random" and answered the questions with whatever song came up (in order)... It's sorta funny.

I had to laugh at the song meme- especially the one about the Christmas Song with Bing Crosby!! It must mean something pretty demented about your taste in men, LOL! Just kidding! Best wishes with those papers and take care, Allison! :-)
Yeah, the Christmas song made me burst out laughing. Not to mention Addicted. Hmm...
Good luck with your papers, Allison!
