It's been WAY too long!!!

Well I thought I'dgive blogging another go.
I stopped because well I stopped losing weight (silly I know)
but this blog began as a way to keep track of my shrinkingness.

Well Who cares about that part... Lets get on to more important stuff...

On Mimbles latest blog entry she has the below list... so I thought I'd give it a go too.

Can anyone tell I used to study victorian lit???
=0P

The Big Read reckons that the average adult has only read 6 of the top 100 books they've printed. Well let's see.
1) Look at the list and bold those you have read.
2) Italicise those you intend to read.
3) Underline the books you LOVE.
4) Put an asterisk next to the books you'd rather shove hot pokers in your eyes than read
5) Reprint this list in your own blog so we can try and track down these people who've only read
6 and force books upon them ;-)
