I got kind of bored... trying to keep my asian friend occupied all night because he's pulling a 24 hour shift of craziness... so yes. I decided I would try to remember all the books I've ever read in my entire life... starting somewhere around Jr. High I guess. I thought that would be a good start ^^ Yay for me... but not necessarily in order of first to last. I'm not that good! Hmm... so trilogies, chronicles, so on and so forth mostly... and single novels ish gewd too ;)
1.) Dark Sword Trilogy by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman (Forging the Dark Sword, Doom of the Dark Sword, and Triumph of the Dark Sword)
2.) Earths Children by Jean M. Auel (Clan of the Cave Bear, Valley of Horses, Mammoth Hunters, The Plains of Passage, and Shelters of Stone)
3.) His Dark Materials aka Northern Lights by Philip Pullman (The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife, and The Amber Spyglass)
4.) Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling (The Sorcerers Stone, Chamber of Secrets, Prisoner of Azkaban, Goblet of Fire, Order of the Pheonix, and Half-Blood Prince)
5.) Halfblood Chronicles by Andre Norton and Mercedes Lackey (Elvenbane, Elvenblood, and Elvenborn)
6.) This Present Darkness and Piercing the Darkness by Frank E. Peretti
7.) Prydain Chronicles by Lloyd Alexander (The Book of Three, The Black Cauldron, The Castle of Llyr, Taran Wanderer, and The High King)
*These last two I'm in the process of finishing up the reading of the entire trilogy/chronicle*
8.) Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien (The Hobbit, Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and Return of the King)
9.) Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis (Magician's Nephew, The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe, The Horse and His Boy, Prince Caspian, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, The Silver Chair, and The Last Battle)
I actually have read a ton more books... but they're just one single. So yeah, I kind of left them out... but there are like ten at least. Heh. I love to read! ^^

I won't even attempt it... I have two book shelves in my room... one full of books I've read, another full of books I mean to read... and that doesn't include the ones I borrowed from teh library, or the ones I read and gave to book sales.

I know, but they get mad at me when I do really fun things and they have their homework to do. So my friends tell me (when I read) that I read to much, or drawing, they say I have to much time on my hands.... why won't they make up their mind? Oh yah and thinking about free time, a sub in math and in the math computer lab... WOOT FREE TIME!

Gah. The Chronicles of Narniiaaaaa. I read The Lion The Witch And The Wardrobe in fifth grade for English class, and I loved it so much that I decided to read the trilogy.
And the rest of the books bored me to tears. ;0; I'm such a failure.

I'm actually borrowing the one huge book from a friend of mine so I can read all of them right now. I'm also reading LOTR and a few other smaller books right now. I love that I can keep all the different stories straight. That helped when I was taking four different English classes my senior year. Woot!

Talk about exercises in futility; I could never remember everything I'vr ever read! But I applaud you efforts. What about books we've re-read many, many times? I think I'e read 100 Dalmatians more than twenty times. Twenty times! It was my favorite book when I was little, and my version no longer has a cover. It's a well-loved book. *cuddles it*

my fave when I was little was Alice in Wonderland... and I loved it so much that I read it a gazillion times and it's still in perfect condition... except for page 29, where there's a paw print because my cat stepped on it.

Sometimes I feel like the only person who doesn't like the chronicles of narnia :/ But I did read them yeeeeeeears ago, so maybe I'll like them now? Who knows. Maybe I'll try to reread them... If we even still have them... My family had a habit of throwing old books away, which I think is TRAGIC. I remember once they made me throw away the Remember Me trilogy by Christopher Pike, and the thirteen year old me was DEVASTATED. (actually, it was all of my Christopher Pike books, but those were the ones that really hurt.) But it doesn't really help. I have two books shelves and stacks beneath my bed. Heh. And even though today I realize that Christopher Pike is definitely NOT the best author around, I am slowly building my collection again And Lysey: I will never get rid of those Goosebumps books, you know? Those were the only ones that survived the tossing out, really. Even my Animorphs collection took a hit. But not the Goosebumps. She bought me at least half of that collection, i bet. ;.;

While we're on the subject of Animorphs, am I the only one who remembers that they used to have a TV show? Everybody I mention it to just goes "Huh?" But I remember it...
