Lengthy

Via The Urban Badger. If I had designed this, I'd have made a provision for removing three titles as well! Oh, well. What it tells me is that I have read a lot of "young readers" literature, plus a lot of typical English-major things and some geekery. No surprises there, I guess!

The rules are that you copy it, bold those you’ve actually read and add three of your own to the bottom.
