Project Two: Reading

Project Two: Reading is my plan to read all those books I've been putting off for years. I have quite a substantial list that will hopefully soon be well on its way to being completed.

17th Feb 05: Added Why Girls Are Weird to the site - just got it today and am totally engrossed. Finished the Da Vinci Code. Now back to reading Wild Swans, Motley Crue autobiog. and Alias Grace.


Reading List 2005:

I reserve the right to add or remove books from the list at any time (more likely adding, but will remove anything I find too difficult to continue with or something that's disgustingly boring). I will bold books if I've completed them, italicise titles I've started but not finished and redden what I am reading right now:
