I have wished to know the names of the blogs of my two classmates in English

And I forgot to ask. Today's the last day of classes.

Now I know exactly how you feel

You told me it was terrible. I did readily agree for I was not really feeling it. But, two more seconds in close to the subject...I know exactly how you feel...and I agree, it's terrible.

How many have you read?

Dear reader,

Apparently the BBC reckons most people will have only read 6 of the 100 books here.

Instructions:

1) Look at the list and put an 'x' after those you have read.

2) Star (*) those you plan on reading.

3) Hash (#) those you haven't finished reading.

4) Tally your total at the bottom.

I have marked mine in the brackets provided.

5) Leave a comment if you wish re your totals or if you wish, you can begin a topic for discussion on any of the books.

Have fun and have a nice day!!!

cheers
