Post subject: | How do your reading habits stack up? |
We've most likely done this before, but I just saw it again... BBC believes most people will have only read 6 of the 100 books here. How do your reading habits stack up? Instructions: 1) Look at the list and put an 'x' after those you have read. 2) Add a '+' to the ones you LOVE. (Alternate: put a '-' by the ones you loathe) 3) Star (*) those you plan on reading. 4) Tally your total at the bottom. 5) Tag the person who tagged you and pick a new group of people to pass it to. How many have you read? 1 Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen (x) 2 The Lord of the Rings - JRR Tolkien (x+) 3 Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte (*) 4 Harry Potter series - JK Rowling (x+) 5 To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee (*) 6 The Bible 7 Wuthering Heights - Charlotte Bronte (x-) 8 Nineteen Eighty Four - George Orwell (x+) 9 His Dark Materials - Philip Pullman 10 Great Expectations - Charles Dickens 11 Little Women - Louisa M Alcott (*) 12 Tess of the D’Urbervilles - 13 Catch 22 - Joseph Heller 14 Complete Works of Shakespeare 15 Rebecca - Daphne Du Maurier 16 The Hobbit - JRR Tolkien (x) 17 Birdsong - Sebastian Faulks 18 Catcher in the Rye - JD Salinger 19 The Time Traveller’s Wife - Audrey Niffenegger 20 Middlemarch - George Eliot 21 Gone With The Wind - Margaret Mitchell 22 The Great Gatsby - F.

Whoa, lots of people here liked Animal Farm! Judging by the reaction at my school I thought I was the only one. |

I think I found it more sad and disturbing than anything else. I think the title made me think it was something... different. I read it a long time ago when I judged a book by it's cover and as I liked animal stories back then.... it probably disturbed me more than it would do if I read it now, as I know what it's about. |
