Hurray for Books

I found this while wandering through knitting blogs and thought it would be fun to try out:

Instructions: Look at the list of books below. Bold the ones you've read, italicize the ones you might read, cross out the ones you won't, underline the ones on your book shelf, and place (parentheses) around the ones you've never even heard of.
