Blatant Theft of Meme

Thanks, Arethusa, for this idea and for your great book suggestions. I can't stand looking at Britney Spears for one more second, so I'm going to post my version of the booklist meme as well. Yay me.

Look at the list of books below. Bold the ones you've read and own, italicize the ones you might read, capitalize the out the ones you won't, underline the ones on your book shelf, and place parentheses around the ones you've never even heard of.

THE DA VINCI CODE, DAN BROWN - er, never. Got into a discussion about this at dinner with friends last weekend and looked like a total book snob. But really. I know this book will suck.
