Another Diversion

I had a hard time at first grasping the idea of a meme. The more time I spend reading blogs, the more I understand. One of our other players passed this along:

• Bold the titles you have read
• Italicize the titles you plan to read someday.
• Put an asterisk* by the titles that you LOVE.
  
•  Strike out the titles that you have no intention of reading - ever.
  

OK so in the font and size I chose for this blog, this won't work. So plan B is:

 Titles I've read in color, titles I plan to read Italicized new font, Titles I love * and strikeout for

things I'll never read.
