Countdown

 

I've been tagged by Jellybean. I, like Jellybean, don't relish the idea of listing ten friends (I mean, do I even have ten friends? Oh, sure I have lots of people who THINK they're my friends, poor suckers. God, that would be aweful... what if I just listed 3 names, saying I only had 3 friends and then YOUR name wasn't on there. Wouldn't that be a slap. Or maybe you'd be happy. Who can say. ANYWAY...) and I'd rather list 10 books anyway, so I'll do this survey in the style of the 'bean, and list my 10 favorite books instead. And in the style of Bet, (i.e. arranged with no particular ranking) since there is NO WAY I could list these things in order of preference.

Also, I have a new link on my blogroll. For those of you who know Professor Perry Mills, his blog is hilarious. For those of you who don't, his blog is scary.
