The Big Read

Got this from Annie;

There are some on the list I may have read, or tried to and do not recollect, and there are some I may read at some point, but have no firm intention in that regard.

1) Look at the list and bold those you have read.
2) Italicize those you intend to read.
3) Underline* the books you LOVE. 

(*After fiddling with this list off an on for hours, and being unable to underline my loved books, I have elected to bold and italicize the books I love...) (Update- I peeked at another blogger's code, and I got it! Tee Hee) (And I borrowed Alicia's idea, of colouring my books seen as movies.)
