100 Books

Apparently I like these survey style things I keep seeing on facebook, so you, dear reader, get to suffer through knowing my survey taking habits.


Instructions:
1) Look at the list and put an 'x' after those you have read.
2) Add a '+' to the ones you LOVE.
3) Star (*) those you plan on reading.
4) Tally your total at the bottom.
5) Add an 'M' if you saw the movie
6) Add a '-' if you've started it
