books!
Got this from Elizabeth, and since it's about books, I couldn't resist posting it.
These are the top 106 books most often marked as "unread" by LibraryThing's users (as of today...). As usual, bold what you have read, italicise that 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.
