Book meme

Snagged from Diane. Like her, I am finding recently that reading "classics" has been boring me to tears. Not classics like Jane Austen, Dickens or Emile Zola, but "modern classics." The book club has been choosing them serially for months and it's an eye-opener. All those books I've thought "I really must read..." turn out to be not worth the effort.

The idea of this meme is to embolden the ones you've read and italicize the ones you own but have not read.
