One more meme comin' up, this one about books.
These are the 106 books most often marked as "unread" by LibraryThing's users. Bold the ones you've read, underline the ones you read for school, italicize the ones you started but didn't finish.
"Here's the twist: add (*) beside the ones you liked and would (or did) read again or recommend. Even if you read them for school in the first place."
Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell
Anna Karennena
Crime and Punishment (UGH. I don't care what Literature types claim, this book sucks dead donkey dick and is not a "classic" anything.)
Catch 22
One Hundred Years of Solitude
Wuthering Heights
The Silmarillion
Life of Pi : a novel
The Name of the Rose
Don Quixote

Jane Eyre

Vanity Fair
The Time Traveler's Wife
The Iliad
Emma
The Blind Assassin
The Kite Runner

Frankenstein
The Count of Monte Cristo
Dracula (Again, somewhat interested in reading this some day. Movies don't cut it.)

The Once and Future King
The Grapes of Wrath (This should be underlined, but even for class I couldn't stomach this book enough to finish it.)
The Poisonwood Bible: a novel
1984*
Angels & Demons
The Inferno (I can't quite decide if I should give this one a * or not.)
The Satanic Verses

See, now I feel vaguely guilty again for not being particularly well-read. I ought to make a run to Dusty Bookshelf this weekend and pick up some of these classic type books. (I refuse to pay $15 for a book if I can find it for cheap.)
However, I refuse to read Dickens. Every book of his that I've attempted has bored me to tears in the first chapter. I also suspect that reading Ann Rand would be a bad idea, as it would probably make my blood boil. And no Neil Gaiman or however you spell it. Again, I don't care how many people say his books are fabulous--I think they're mind-numbingly boring, though the original concept could've been cool.
