Alright, so here's a sort of...book checklist I guess that I found on someone elses diary who found it on someone elses diary and didn't give credit. So let's observe how intellectually defunct Sarah is.

----------------------------------

1. Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell: Saw the movie, liked it, am dying to see it again now that I'm older and would understand it a whole lot better, and now I want to read the book because, while it doesn't need to be said I'll say it anyway, the book is always better than the movie.

2. To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee: Have read the book and seen the movie. This is one of those books that is impossible not to like.

3. Outlander by Diana Gabaldon: No

4. Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley: No and I'm not interested

5. A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving: Sylvia told me this was way good so maybe I'll check it out one day.

6. The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien: I'm conviced that if I read the books and or saw the movies, I'd love it and become obsessed. Since I'm a big enough geek as it is, I have left this series alone.

7. I Know This Much is True by Wally Lamb:Nope.

8. The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver: Nope.

9. Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden: No, but I really want to.

10. The Stand by Stephen King: While I can appreciate the King(hes an X-Files fan and even wrote one of my favorite episodes! COME ON), when it comes to actually reading books I'm more of a Dean Koontz gal.

12. A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith: We'll add this to the "I want to" list

18. The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald: Another book about two men being in love with a woman, another one of my favorites. Plus I love the 20s.

19. Left Behind by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins: No, and I refuse to be influenced by your Christian propaganda!

38. The Game of Kings: The Lymond Chronicles by Dorothy Dunnett: No
