In retrospect, I feel pretty great. I do honestly intend to read all those that are starred--my to-read list is rife with 'classics'. And I'm in the process of reading all the italicized. Also, I love some of the things BBC considers great works of literature or whatever; the amount of fantasy/scifi on the list made me smile!
