Reading meme

So, my friend Suzie Harris got involved in this meme via our friend and fellow scribbler Nick Daws. Basically, the idea is that you look at the list, mark off the books as appropriate and then tag some more people to get them involved too. Ken Preston and I volunteered to be Suzie's tags.

If anyone fancies giving it a go, leave a comment with a blog to link to here.

All you have to do is copy the list, adapt it for yourself and then post it on your blog. Its an American list in this case, but none the worse for that.
