It's that time of year again. Time for the annual "Have you read the books I read this year?" poll. Under the cut is a list of all the books I read this year - 124 in all, though since there were a few repeats during the year, they are marked with a * and only appear once, thus lowering that number significantly.

Meme from heartofawarrior

Comment and I'll pick seven of your icons, and then you will explainwhy you love/are using the icon (who doesn't love talking about theiricons, seriously) and then post your explanation/this meme in yourjournal for other people to squee about their icons, and basically itwill be a huge squeefest of love and 100x100 square pixels.



I honestly don't use this one very much - but when I do, it's quite appropriate. It's for those times when I think the world is really going to be ending in a few years, mostly due to Dubya or other assorted crazies.


Mmm Boondock Saints. So the two men in the icon are fraternal (Irish!) twins - one of the few fandoms in which I'll read twincest (the other being HP, with the Weasley twins). This icon is from the outtake of a deleted scene.


Three Things:
1) it's Disney. 'Nuff said.
2) It's Beauty and the Beast, one of my favorite Disney movies of all time
3) It pretty much describes me, and much of my life outside college: "omg! Books? For fun? You're a freak!" (and I'm proud of it!)


So that's Jayne from Firefly & Serenity. He's reading the diary journal of the Simon, the doctor, whom Jayne loves to hate. It's just a perfect shot for "hey! porn!" type of comments - it really does look like he's stumbled upon porn.


From Eddie Izzard, one of my favorite comedians EVER. It's a cartoonified version of his account of how Stonehenge was built. I don't know of specific times I'd use this - just when it seems appropriate, such as when people have screwed me over, or when I'm commenting about Teh Izzard.


Again, from teh Izzard It's basically a cartoonified version of the part of his show titled "Dress to Kill" where Eddie talks about how Britain built an empire with the cunning use of flags.


Yet another Izzard cartoonification. Here he's talking about the difference between wooing girls during puberty (you hit them with a loaf of French bread, apparently) and during adulthood when you're (ostensibly) more suave, and utilize a cup of coffee. I think.

I took the list of books from here, which is "a list of published fiction containing illegal sexual activities" (and which activities are in each book). The list has been re-organized by author (if there's no author or "anonymous", it's listed by the title of the book; "anonymous" is listed as such).


Bold the books you've read. At the bottom, put how many (out of 459) you've read.

( under here, as the list is hugeass long )

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 23.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next three sentences on your blog along with these instructions.
5. Don't you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest.

I have two books nearest me. Honest. I'm in class, and I have two books side-by-side in my backpack, neither closer or farther from me. Also, I’m counting the fifth full sentence on the page.

“A professional female supporter expressed embarassment over the newly minted junior senator’s appearance.”
-Eve’s Revenge by Lilian Calles Barger

“The sound had a bitter undertaste to it, as if it hadn’t been laughter at all.”
-The Lunatic Cafe by Laurell K. Hamilton

What I'm Hearing: It's the End of the World

So, following the lead (though a few days late) of many people over at librarything, I'm putting together a poll consisting of the books I read (or rather, finished) in 2006.

username songs, snagged from motionxcity77

Open your playlist, and choose songs that start with each letter of your username. The songs have to mean something to you. Don't just pick a song because it starts with a letter in your username. Post the list to your journal. If you want you can explain why the songs are important to you, but it's not required...

A "Accidentally in Love" by the Counting Crows
N "Nothing Else Matters" (Gregorian Chant)
K "Kiss From a Rose" by Seal
H "Heaven's Got a Baby" by the O.C. Supertones
E "Encore - Here's Your Sign" by Bill Engvall (so it's technically not a song...I think)
T "Take Me or Leave Me" - Original Broadway Cast of Rent / "Trading My Sorrows" by Broken String
