Just getting the ball rolling...Part II

Ok, so the first part was the list of books I'm supposedly supposed to have read if I'm an avid reader.

Here's the list of books I've actually read (that are worth mentioning), either for class or on my own. They are in no particular order, simply the order I remembered them. I think it's crazy how I forget sometimes what I've read, even though the books have had so much impact on me. So I hope this helps.

  1. I didn't realize you have read 'The Sound And The Fury", although since its by Faulkner, I should have guessed. Do you think it would be one I would like? Now that it has been on Parenthood, I want to read it. Is that bad?

  2. I think you might like it; I'll have to get it from home for you to read. Hey, at least something is out there encouraging people to read the classics. ;) lol
