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. (Please note; all originally foreign language books which I claim to have read, I have only read in translation). Add an asterisk to those you've read more than once. Underline those on your to-read list.
