How did you make the strikethroughs for the books you have read?

[Lisa]

If you look at some HTML is ok is explains
You put <>....> before and after each sentence with the letter s in the brackets

[Mayra]

wow lisa you're almost a 4th of the way done with this list... i have only read 4.

[Lisa]

There's books here I've never heard off... So exciting

[Mayra]

yes same here. :)

15) Of Mice and Men
This was incredible!

[Buck]

Of Mice and Men is a favorite of mine, as I'm sure you know by now. I think it is arguably Steinbeck's best work and certainly an all-time great novella.

My favorite Steinbeck thus far!

60) Revolutionary Road- Richard Yates
It was inevitable

Twelve Years a Slave
The cruelty of people baffles me

i just started reading it.

[Andrew]

I'm reading The Book Thief at the moment. So far it is fantastic!

[Andrew]

I do however, need to add some Dickens, Hemingway, and Tolstoy to my shelf.

I agree with adding Tolstoy. Hemingway for me gets a bit samey. And Dickens is too longwinded

[Andrew]

I have yet to read any of these three, so I'll have to give them a try and report back lol!
