I stole this idea...!

Susan over at Bloggin Bout Books did a great post last night (this morning?) and I just had to steal it. I was reading this very article to my husband last night, naming what I had read, so I thought it was funny when I saw this blog post today. I've read 29 of the listed books and I have several on my TBR list. With no further ado, here's what I've read from this list. What about you? Anything you disagree with or think should be added?
