Books
So while trying to avoid the pile of work on my desk I came across this book thing. I'm sure everyone's done this at one point or another but I was bored today so here it is. Now the sad thing is I was thinking to myself..."I'm a well read person...or at least I used to be, I'll have most of this list covered!" Not only have I not read a giant chunk of the list, but it's depressing to realize how many books I've started and left to "come back to some day" a lot of it being Dickens hmmm. So take a look and try it, sort of an eye opener and a great waste of time!
These are the top 106 books most often marked as "unread" by LibraryThing's users (as of today, 30 September 2007). As usual, bold what you have read, italicise what you started but couldn't finish, and strike through what you couldn't stand. Add an asterisk to those you've read more than once. Underline those on your to-read list.
