Also I wanted to add....
Date: 2009-02-16 04:52 am (UTC)I use to read a ton of books when I was really young too, I had quite the nice little library for myself and I was a big huge fan of Jane Austen and Emily Bronte....I loved the long ago setting of the stories ;) And then Little Women I think I read that 20 times at least LOL There's also alot of other books I read back then that I'm surprised aren't on the list
I had to make a seperate comment to say this because the list alone maxes out the amount of characters you can put in one comment, heheh
(no subject)
Date: 2009-02-16 09:39 am (UTC)How do "hamlet" and "the complete works of William Shakespeare" get two separate entries? Does that seem weird to anyone else?
PS I really only read about 45 nd 2/3, because I could not make myself finish Confederacy of Dunces. I kept waiting for something to happen, but it never did. Let me know if you read it and what you think.

Date: 2009-02-16 02:11 pm (UTC)I saw some people didn't have books X'd that I HAD to read in school. However, I went to the same school as my sister and there were books that we don't have in common.
