My Big Read

noreply@blogger.com (ngeecap) — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 06:23:00 +0000

Recently stumbled upon this inspiring idea from The Peach Tree.

Here's how it works:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Big Read says that the average adult has only read 6 of the top 100 books they've printed.

1) Look at the list and bold those you have read.
2) Italicize those you intend to read.
3) Underline the books you love, and strikeout the books you read but didn't like.
4) Reprint this list so we can try and track down these people who've read only 6 or less
and make them read.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
