... I am going to town on Thursday so I am heading to the second-hand bookshop and plan on going to the charity in the village on friday. 3 books for a pound :o! Am thinking of printing off the list and crossing them out as I go along. Also thinking about creating a book blog.

Oh 'The Secret Life Of Bees', my friend has been nagging me to read that for weeks now. I must do that soon.

Pierced Musie, that's one hell of a list! :o! Some interesting books on the list. I've read a few of them. Atonement is a stunning book. Good luck with book hunting! :)

I picked up The Reader by Bernhard Schlink and Revolutionary Road by Richard Yates. I want to read the books before I watch the film. Though I think I might be put of the film adaptation after I've read it. Books turned films never live up to my expectations.
