The Big Read

I swiped this from Jen Hendren's blog...

The Big Read, an initiative by the National Endowment for the Arts, has estimated that the average adult has only read 6 of the top 100 books they've printed. How do you do?

1) Look at the list and bold those you have read.
2) Italicize those you intend to read.
3) Underline the books you LOVE. (I don't see an underline option in Blogger - these are CAPITALIZED)
