Following the footsteps of http://muggermuch.blogspot.com/ (And copying the description too ... :D)
Here's a list of books that one's supposed to have read; mark those you have read already in bold, those that are on your bookshelf and are piteously crying out for a solid read in italics, and leave the ones you haven't touched with a bargepole (yet) without any markup. I assume, especially for the classics, that only unabridged works are allowed to be marked as read. (Or the list below shall light up in bold like a Christmas tree.) The list is from Chandni apparently, via Whiny The Moo's blog. Here's some link love: Chandni and Mukta.
