Book meme

[auntiemeesh]

I have a project due tomorrow. One that I should really be working on. Sadly, I'm still in 'oh, I have a whole 24 hours before that's due' mode and I'm just not feeling any interest in working on it at all. Plus I'm really fighting the urge to go ahead and watch 'Sunday' again. So, instead, I meme.

Instructions: Look at the list of books below. Bold the ones you've read, italicize the ones you might read in the future, cross out the ones you won't touch with a 10 foot pole, underline the ones on your book shelf, and do not do anything the ones you've never even heard of. The underline part is a bit iffy. Most of my books are still in boxes and I'm not really sure which ones I still have and which ones went bye-bye in the Great Book Purge of 2005.

OK, I'm having a hard time believing you've "never even heard of" To Kill a Mockingbird. I am just going to assume that its lack of stylization means that you don't know what happened to it in the Great Book Purge of 2005.

If you do your assignment, then it'll be done.

To Kill a Mockingbird is just one of those books I'm completely 'meh' about. I have no real desire to read it, but it's not something that I could scratch off and say I'd never read it, so I just ignored it. There's a lot of others on the list that are the same way. Books that fall somewhere between never gonna touch 'em on the one hand and maybe I'll pick it up on the other hand. Maybe I should put those books in small font or something to signify my complete and utter lack of willingness to think about them one way or the other, lol.

Just another one of those memes where the options are not sufficiently mutually exclusive! Hope you enjoyed "Sunday" (an SGA episode?) and got your assignment done!

I did get my assignment done (sent it off about fifteen minutes ago). And I did enjoy Sunday, which you are correct to assume is SGA. :D
