Mama's Book List

You know that if I see a book tag on someone's blog, I am going to have to do it. This one was on Lulu’s. Here is a list of 100 books. Cut and paste, and then BOLD the books you have read, and Italicize the ones you want to read.

#65, Fifth Business--great book, but probably Davies's worst one. Read The Rebel Angels.

This is pretty cool, I stole it for my journal. We have a pretty big overlap in our reading, except I do like sci-fi and I also read almost all non-english books on the list... In fact, a couple of them were required reading in my Russian literature class in high school :)

You have got to read The Little Prince, it's one of my favorite stories and it is soooo short! It's okay if you don't, but you can bet Pi will have it inflicted on her when she comes to visit her aunty and uncle alabaster's house. She may even run the risk of hearing it en francais!
