Book meme

I never do memes, but this is kind of fun.

Meme instructions: Look at the list of books below. Bold the ones you've read, italicize the ones you might read, cross out the ones you won't, place an asterisk after the ones on your book shelf, and place (parentheses) around the ones you've never even heard of. (Bookseller addendum - only my personal shelves count).

The Da Vinci Code - Dan Brown
The Catcher in the Rye - J.D. Salinger*
The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy - Douglas Adams
The Great Gatsby - F.Scott Fitzgerald*
To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee (no copy as of two weeks ago - sold it, as I didn't think I'd want to read it again before I could find another copy...)

One Hundred Years of Solitude - Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Memoirs of a Geisha - Arthur Golden
