This is an excellent way of keeping a rein on your reading, Booklogged.
It's easy to place categories straightaway.
Hopefully, you may consider Plath's The Bell Jar.
She called it her first book of fiction but wrote about real people, esp her neighbours and relatives she disliked and when the novella was published, her mum had to send out apology letters to all those who immediately recognised themselves.
She was beautiful!
I might just copy this and do my own markings. Again, some of these books look mighty interesting. I should avoid book blogs for a while.
Fun meme, I'll have to give it a go this evening. I was amazed at how many I had read!
This is a wonderful meme. I'll have a go at it later this week.
So interesting to read of other's "literary histories" as well. :-)
Thank you for the idea.
where did the list come from? Did you just make it up yourself?
Cassie, that's a good question. I found it on another person's reading blog. I should have made note of it, but didn't. If I come across it again, I will put that in the post. I did add History of Love at the bottom of the list. I wonder if whoever made it up had any rhyme or reasons to the books chosen. It's a weird selection, I thought.
I'm stealing this idea for my blog. I put it on Fifty Books, since it's a book post.
I "stole" this list for my blog too. I was surprised to see how many I have read and how many I knew. Some of my green titles are on my list tbr for the 2007 challenge.
