All right - stole this off someone else. Bolding the books I've read. Why? Because one of my gentle readers may, one day think to herself, "I wonder if Mike's read Lord of the Flies. Now you know.

Oh! I love book lists! and apparently also love to reveal my own dorkiness to the world via that statement...
this one confused me b/c the books were all over the place. it wasn't just classics...or just 1 genre...seemed a little random - where did you get it?
also, why have you not read the 4th H.P, but have read all the rest?
Apparently, it was a list of books to read before you die complied by British Librarians.
I have read all the Harry Potter... that was an oversight. It's corrected.
You must read Snow Crash and Good Omens. You will love both.
The His Dark Materials trilogy is also really excellent.
