Blame reannon, I don't usually post these things.

Bold the ones you’ve read, underline the ones you read for school, italicize the ones you started but didn’t finish. Add (*) beside the ones you liked and would (or did) read again or recommend. Even if you read them for school in the first place, and a dash next to books you own but have not read.

I met Ray Bradbury this past weekend at the LA Times Festival of Books. Very, very nice fellow. But very old and frail. I don't know how much longer he has, but he will be missed.
