03.09.2011 The 100 Favorite Mysteries of the Century

I came across this link today - and thought huh..wonder how many of those I"ve read?  or rather I should say, how many of those do I remember that I've read?  I have always read mysteries...my Dad was a big reader, and so some of the older books I may have read and just don't remember.   The ones I remember reading I'm going to mark...and then I think I'm going to make reading the ones I haven't a 2011 endeavor.

After marking - I've got 15.  Huh.  I"ve got some reading to do!
