Book Meme!!!!
Via matociquala , a book meme from nebula99:
Apparently, these are the books most often listed as "unread" on librarything. The original instructions included recommendations to italicize books started but not finished, bold books read, and bold and underline books read for school. I'm 36 37 years old. Like I remember what books I read for school. [ed. note: yeah, um, me too!! I'll try.]
Updated to add a twist via txanne via rivka: I'm adding an asterisk by books I liked, which will include (a) books I liked and would read again (or have read more than once because I enjoyed them; and (b) books I've not finished but didn't stop because I didn't like them, and I'd like to finish them.
