LibraryThing Meme: Frequently Unread Books
The list is the 106 books most often noted as unread by Library Thing users. Bold is for books you've read. Italics for books you've started but haven't finished. Strikethrough is for books you found unreadable.
Most of these seem to be "classic" books, and I haven't read too many of those. I'd like to read Charles Dickens' works, though- Dan has recommended them. I also noted TR- for books I want to read, TF for ones to finish
Here's my LT account by the way: (Note that it's still not all of my books!
