50-foot-tall book meme
Any fool can tell that I haven’t been posting much, so today I again resort to keeping the blog active with relative nonsense. You know you’re clutching at straws when your last post was a link to an online quiz, and the one you’re writing is a meme iteration.
Thanks to Myst for this, anyway. It is, apparently, the “50 foot tall book meme.” I’m not sure if it is attempting to generate a list of books that, if stacked, would be 50ft high (I suspect it’s there already), or a list that, on-screen, is 50-feet long. If it’s the latter, I suspect people are going to give up before it gets that long.
Whatever the stated aim, it is a fabulous opportunity to show off how many books you’ve read on a list to which others have added titles they deemed worthy of mention. Myst’s already done an admirable job of flaunting how well-read she is, so now it’s my turn.
The deal, by the way, is that if you replicate this meme on your own site, you have to mark the books you’ve read, and add three more of your own to the end of the list.
Books I’ve read all the way through are in bold. I’ve also added some commentary. Note that the markings for books I’ve read become sparser as the list gets longer and ever more obscure.
