Fun with Memes -- 159

[nekosensei]

There's yet another book meme going around. And I'm doing it because everyone on my friends list is...

1) Look at the list and bold those you have read.
2) Italicize those you intend to read.
3) Underline the books you LOVE
4) Reprint this list in your own LJ so we can try and track down these people who've read 6 and force books upon them ;-)
5)Annotate at will.

What happened to story_lines? :(

I got distracted by a major, life-threatening illness in January. I spent from then until about April being scared to death, and then from April to about now working on exercising, losing weight, and getting back into shape in general. Needless to say, it got side-tracked for awhile. Now that I'm feeling better, I should pick both it and another community that I've been neglecting since the shit hit the fan up again.

Apologies. I didn't know. Hope you're feeling better. x
