a cool new meme from a cool new blog

New to me, that is. Stumbled upon Kelli's blog this evening. Really enjoyed it and will make it a regular stop. She had this really cool book meme there. Looks like so much fun I've got to try it. I actually had to change it a bit (because of my well-known technological ignorance), so for the original instructions please visit Kelli's place.

Look at the list of books below.
*Type "READ" beside the ones you've read.
*Type "WANT TO" beside the ones you'd like to read.
*Leave blank the ones that you aren't interested in.
*Type "AGAIN AND AGAIN" beside the ones you could read again and again.

If you are reading this, tag you're it! Let me know if you do it...

i didn't think i was interested in reading the Lord of the Rings books either. then my friends insisted i see the movies & they planted me on the couch to watch. now i am reading the first book & really enjoying it. i think in this case it helps to watch the movies first. the books are good but i could see how they might be overwhelming with no idea what's going on. the books & the movies are actually both good -- which almost never happens.

take care,
Dawn

I know what you mean, Marianne! I think I just don't usually read "classy" enough books!
