This is a good list. I've read some and have some of these shelved, waiting to be read. Neuromancer is going to be read next.

Don’t ask me why I remember that from High School over 20 years ago… I just do.
You've been book tagged.
It should be really easy for you really :)
No thanks. I just don't enjoy those things. Don't be offended, but I don't do any of those.
I find it a strange, peer-pressur-ish way to dictate blog content, and I've always been uncomfortable with it. Sorry. I know you meant it nicely!
Sorry, but you have to do it.
If you break the chain you get bad luck long time or something. But if you pass it on you will get $100 from a mysterious stranger, and.. erm... Jesus will love you.
Hm. None of those seem like good enough reasons either way.
Jesus hates you now. Like Huey from The Boondocks

I'm with you on that Jessica - besides, my brain freezes when someone asks me questions like these. I'd much rather not. If I want to share, I'll share. I can barely keep up as it is!
Good list. How many of these have YOU read? One would like to think all of them, since you're recommending them.
I have, indeed, read all of them. I used to read of the playground as a child, and I was an English major in college because that way, I could read more books! :)
