Can You Ever Love Books Too Much?

So, I saw this meme on someone's blog (I forget whose) and knew that I had to fill out. I'm actually kind of proud - I own almost half of the books on this list.

In the list of books below, bold the ones you’ve read, italicize the ones you want to read, cross out the ones you won’t touch with a ten-foot pole, put a cross (+) in front of the ones on your book shelf, and asterisk (*) the ones you’ve never heard of.
