Does it matter if I didn't finish it? Some of these I only read enough to know I couldn't finish them. Or it just didn't catch my interest and I put the book down, never to return. I really should just read one at a time, but I like to have choices.

Well i cannot honestly say that i am interested in the whole of that list but lets see:
The whole of the Harry Potter collection - i loved them - childish i know but still they gave a good read
Sophie Kinsella - i am in in love with her intoxicating writing style - I have so far completed the Journey of Becky Bloomwood tying the Knot and having a baby as for the other 5 i am still in search for the books as i refuse to pay retail price - cheap i know but why pay when people are willing to sell for cheap books that are barely read!! -EBAY - Charity Shops!!!
The Da Vinci Code - I promised myself once i knew the film was going to be released in due time i would take time out to read the book before going to see it which i did fulfill 95% of my promise but didn't quite make the last 2 chapters! - The film was fabulous however!
3.Definitely noting the title for future reads
15.Really thought about it but i think it may be a holiday read - utterly bored and nothing to do - I could be wrong
21.Always intrigued me will add to my future reads?!?!
23.Always seems to make an impact of peoples lives so may have to give it a go
25.Always see it in the shops but even though i have don't judge a book by its cover twirling round in my head (the cover is weird) i still ignore it - however will we added to future reads
32.I want to read the book and see the film - will do the book first and WILL read the whole thing
46.Another classic which i have never got around to buying let alone looking at so will go on the future reads
63.The Title says it all and even though it sounds so small minded this really doesn't interest me - whether it is the title or the gruelling how many hundred pages i just can't bring myself to open the first page
68.The definition of most peoples everyday life i believe but really need to read this one!
69.Stage play was fabulous and the CD tells a great story in fantasy as does war of the worlds (the movie of that was dismal!)
82.My favourite English lit book in school and will remain that way for a longer time than i would like to admit
Ok so that is me for that list but there are a couple others that i would like to put forward for good sorry GREAT reads
A Million Little Pieces - James Frey
High Society - Ben Elton
Diary of a Manhattan Call Girl - Tracy Quan
I must say out of all the books i have read the three above really stuck in my mind for whatever reason it was they stuck!
There maybe more and i will enlighten you when i remember which ones!
xXx
