Music: The wind through the trees. (I�m sitting out on the front porch.)
Mood: hacking up a lung

Ganked this from Branwyn. This is what happens when a bibliophile gets her BA in English/Cultural Studies.

Onwards to the meme!

1) Look at the list and bold those you have read.
2) Italicise those you intend to read.
