That was a Meme from Chelsea's site that I've seen on others' blogs. Feel free to partake. I'm not quite sure what this says about me except it reflects a few books on my bookshelf that are actually my husband's that I have not read. The other thing that this brings to mind is the fact that I love to read, but I have trouble retaining the story. I have read a lot of the books listed but I couldn't quote them for you or even write a synopsis on some!

I'm curious as to why you couldn't finish DaVinci Code? I'm curious because it's actually the book I was going to read next after I finish The Constant Gardener.
