bookcrossing1) 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 journal so we can try and track down these people who've read 6 and force books upon them [There's something missing here, I think.]
I also added comments to some of them. :)
1. Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen
I read it in London + saw the (old) film afterwards and loved it.
