 Do any of y'all have an account? We have a literate group of people here, and I think it tells a lot about someone what they've read, and how they assessed the value of the various works they've digested.

Also, its a great opportunity for psuedointellectual postering and showing everyone just how better read you are than them.

Trying to remember everything you have read is an admittedly staggering feat. I need to venture into the Library once it opens to scan the history shelves; the names of history books I read frequently escapes me, since their names and authors are not typically very material compared to the content of the book itself.

Most of the things I have read have been fairly forgettable. The noteworthy ones which merited more than three out of five stars:

Five stars-

Spring Snow
Flannery O Conner's complete works
The Cry of the Sloth
A Confederacy of Dunces
The Civil War: A Narrative
Dreams of Terror and Death: H.P Lovecraft Anthology
Bloodcurdling Tales of Horror and the Macabre: Lovecraft Anthology
A Game of Thrones
A Clash of Kings
A Storm of Swords
The Fellowship of the Ring
The Return of the King

I've read these on the list, and a couple others. I've also found Roman historical novels by  Colleen McCullough (sp?) to be very good. Begins around the time of Marius and Sulla.  Game if Thrones being the tv (HBO?) series, which is being very well done, IMO!
