Since I ran away from the last tag, I thought I would pick up a tag by Emma that I could not complete and it was months ago. And this time it is about books. The list of the books is long and I have read much less than what I would ideally like to read! But then I am going to do it even if I can tick just ten of the list of 106!
I am supposed to bold the ones that I have read, underline the ones I have read in school, italicise the ones I have started but didn’t finish. I am surprised that ‘The Lord of the Rings’ is not included in the list. It is one of my absolute favorites.
- Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell
- Anna Karenina
- Crime and Punishment
- Catch-22
- One Hundred Years of Solitude- Don’t know why but I could never finish this one.

One person that I know and how reads a lot is Steve of Gonomad. I wonder if he will pick up this tag.
Love this tag..will pick it up this week sometime ..Im sure most of my reading would have been school, though this last year, Ive started reading again
Looking at this, it appears that I’m a lot less well-read than you are.:)Some of my favourite books aren’t on the list though, like the entire Sherlock Holmes collection, for instance.:P
Thanks for picking up the tag Lakshmi.Sidhu I am also quite fond of Sherlock Holmes and yes that is another notable omission.
