BIG NOVEL LIST

1:50p.m. / 13:50

I'm not going to name any names or screen names, but when I wrote the novel inventory post, someone asked for a list of what books I have. Well, here it is. This is a complete list of every novel I own. As of posting time, it is quite accurate, but it is of course subject to change at any time in the future. It is quite long. I wasted a lot of time doing this.

Some things to remember while looking the list over:
1. This is a list of novels. It does not include any non-fiction, old textbooks, reference-type books, comics, novelty books etc. that I own.
2. Many of these books and authors have not appeared on here before, but I am not going to highlight all of them now. They will be highlighted the next time they make an appearance.
3. The 53% of the novels I have read are marked by a ~.
4. I read library books too. A lot of the books I've written about before will not be on this list.

And now, without further ramblings, I present to you the BIG NOVEL LIST:

Comments:
Did I ask? If I didn't, I meant to...
 
did you forget to return a lot of the books we read in high school, or have you bought copies of them since then?
 
I only kept one book from high school, and that was because I was determined to finish reading it. I returned it to the teacher who's class it was from sometime during my first year of college.
 
Also, as you may not know since you were busy voluntarily doing algebra and worse with the math team, those of us on the English team had to buy our own books.
 
You are clearly more aware of your book collection than I am...I have on at least one occasion bought a book with great relish and excitement, only to carry it home and find, on the bookshelf, a copy of the same book.
 
has it occured to you that if i was so unaware, i wouldn't know that many of those books were for english team? yes, i knew you had to buy those. i mean things like a separate peace, which we read for class.

also, i'm pretty sure you have a book in common with my mother.
