I don't often do "memes". Or, rather, I don't often call them memes. Anyway, I like this one.
These are the top 106 books most often marked as "unread" by
LibraryThing's users (as of 30 September 2007). As usual, bold what you have read, italicise what you started but couldn't finish, and strike through what you couldn't stand. Add an asterisk to those you've read more than once. Underline those on your to-read list.
