Got this from Kay, original source Onehandclapping…

Here’s what you do:

• Bold the ones you’ve read.
• Italicize the ones you want to read.
• Leave in normal text the ones that don’t interest you.
• Put in ALL CAPS those you haven’t heard of.
• Put a couple of asterisks by the ones you recommend.

(And I’m going to add another step: put a couple of plus signs (++) by it if you’ve seen “the movie” - film or TV show - whether or not you read the book. - Erik)
