    Book report

    In response to the "Reading List" post a bit ago, Jana B wanted to know what I'm reading now. I picked up "The Language of Baklava" at work last weekend, and I couldn't put it down. And that was even before I knew there were recipes involved! I'm pretty close to the end, so I'll write a bit more about it once I've finished.

    Here's a book meme I picked up at Caro's Lines and she picked up elsewhere:

    Look at the list of books below. Bold the ones you've read, italicize the ones you might read, cross out the ones you won't, underline the ones on your book shelf, and place parentheses around the ones you've never even heard of.

    The Da Vinci Code - Dan Brown
    The Catcher in the Rye - J.D. Salinger
    The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy - Douglas Adams
    The Great Gatsby - F.Scott Fitzgerald
    To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee
    The Time Traveler's Wife - Audrey Niffenegger
    (His Dark Materials - Philip Pullman)
    Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince - J. K. Rowling
    Life of Pi - Yann Martel
    Animal Farm - George Orwell
    Catch-22 - Joseph Heller
    The Hobbit - J. R. R. Tolkien
    The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time - Mark Haddon
    Lord of the Flies - William Golding
    Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen (My mother-in-law would be outraged that I haven't read this)
    1984 - George Orwell
    Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - J. K. Rowling
    One Hundred Years of Solitude - Gabriel Garcia Marquez (I don't remember anything about this. Maybe I should read it again)
    Memoirs of a Geisha - Arthur Golden
    The Kite Runner - Khaled Hosseini
    The Lovely Bones - Alice Sebold
    Slaughterhouse 5 - Kurt Vonnegut
    (The Secret History - Donna Tartt)
    Wuthering Heights - Emily Bronte
    The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe - C. S. Lewis
    Middlesex - Jeffrey Eugenides
    Cloud Atlas - David Mitchell
    Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte
    Atonement - Ian McEwan
    The Shadow Of The Wind - Carlos Ruiz Zafon (I tried to read this, but I couldn't find a copy. Someone -- Felicity Huffman, maybe -- recommended it in "O" magazine, which I was reading while my car was being worked on.)
    The Old Man and the Sea - Ernest Hemingway
    The Handmaid's Tale - Margaret Atwood
    The Bell Jar - Sylvia Plath
    Dune - Frank Herbert

    There's a good chance that there are more of these than I noted on my bookshelf. I need a card catalogue.
