Make sure that you have only one an unordered list in your code because if you have more than one and you give each of them a specific style using the tag name then the last style will replace all previous styles for all unordered lists, if not try to but id to your list and try to style it using id
Note : Make sure you but style tag in head tag and the best is to put your code here so we can determine where the problem and help u

You want the <li> to appear in a single line?

The float: left; rule seems to be the source of problem. But I don't have an explanation.

Hi Chalacho,
Sorry I didn't understand, what did you mean "list float left"?

Chalacho
If u wanna make a block element like li element appears as an inline element , you should use display attribute
So your code will be
<html>
<head><title></title>
<style>
ul{
background-color:blue;
}
li{
display: inline-block;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<ul>
<li>pene</li>
<li>book</li>
</ul>
</body>
</html>

Remove float: left; from 'li' selector in the style definition.

You have to add id or class.
