I got this book list from this post on Booklogged's blog. The instructions are this: Look at the list of books below. Highlight in red the ones you’ve read, highlight in green the ones you might read, leave the ones you won’t read in black, italicize the ones on your book shelf, and place parentheses around the ones you’ve never even heard of.

I will have to do this list. I think you've read more of them than I have.

Fifty, I'd like to encourage you to rething The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time. It's a little book, so a fast read, but with a powerful punch. I think you would like it.

BTW, it's kind of funny addressing you as 'Fifty'. As in the previous comment. Makes you sound like an 'older' person.
