Kept meaning to do this...
The 'unread books' meme, as created by nhw, alphabetised by loganberrybunny and last seen by me on huskyteer's journal:
These are the top 106 books most often marked as "unread" by LibraryThing's users (as of 30/09/07). People have employed various codes to mark up the list - I'm using the following three:
Bold: read
Italic: started but didn't finish
Underline: own but haven't read yet
*: read more than once
