Books!

 I bloghopped to Jean’s blog and found this :)

Take the list below, paste it into your own blog, and mark them as follows:
READ for those you’ve read;
WANT TO next to those you are interested in;
AGAIN & AGAIN next to those you’ve read and loved, over and over;
REPEAT for those you’ve read more than once, without necessarily loving them;
MEH for stuff you read and weren’t impressed by;
STARTED for those that just never got finished;
and leave blank those you don’t care to read.

–*i’m adding an ABOUT TO for those that are in my shelf, waiting to be devoured.

For someone who studied English literature in college, doesn’t seem like I’ve read much, eh?  I may not seem (or act) like the type who appreciates books but I do.  My love for books started as early as 3rd grade.  By 4th grade, I was already writing short stories.  By junior high, 1984 was the greatest book ever for me (but don’t forget To Kill a Mockingbird!).  And even before I entered college, I was writing full 13-page essays with a passion (one of which I own an award for).  So it was without a doubt that I’d enter college doing only what I love best: reading and writing.

*Cackle*.  And then I dropped out before graduation.  Lovely hahahahaa.
