Reading meme [27 Jun 2008|03:13pm] whatlauradid The Big Read thinks the average adult has only read six of the top 100 books they've printed below. 01. Look at the list and bold those you have read. 02. Italicise those you intend to read 03. Underline the books you LOVE. 04. Reprint this list in your own LJ so we can try and track down these people who've only read 6 and force books upon them. I've read 67/100 ( They ought to drown him in holy water ) post comment

[25 Jun 2008|03:29pm] whatlauradid Yet each man kills the thing he loves, By each let this be heard, Some do it with a bitter look, Some with a flattering word, The coward does it with a kiss, The brave man with a sword! Some kill their love when they are young, And some when they are old; Some strangle with the hands of Lust, Some with the hands of Gold: The kindest use a knife, because The dead so soon grow cold. Some love too little, some too long, Some sell, and others buy; Some do the deed with many tears, And some without a sigh: For each man kills the thing he loves, Yet each man does not die. From 'The Ballad of Reading Gaol' by Oscar Wilde post comment
