Judge me by what I have and have not read
Directions: These are the top one-hundred-six books most often marked as "unread" by LibraryThing’s users. As usual, bold what you have read, italicize what you started but couldn’t finish, and strike through what you couldn’t stand. (Okay, I can't figure out for the life of me how to do a strike through, so I'm just going to have to type it out.) Add an *asterisk to those you’ve read more than once. Underline those on your to-read list.
