These are the top 106 books most often marked as "unread" by LibraryThing’s users (as of today-ish). As usual, bold what you have read, italicize what you started but couldn’t finish, and strike through what you couldn’t stand. The numbers after each one are the number of LT users who used the tag of that book

You've read SO much more than I have, but I'm glad I'm not the only one who didn't like The Hobbit.

I HATE the Hobbit. I don't know why, by all rights I should like it but every time I tried to read it I'd end up throwing the book across a room. The writing style just doesn't appeal to me. I did make it through the first Lord of the Rings book before seeing the first movie but it was forced reading and I didn't attempt the other two.

I read a lot. I wanted to read 100 books this year... then I lost track of how many I'd read (next year I'm buying a book journal) but I try for an average of 2 per week so I'm sure I'll hit my goal even if I don't know it ;)

The Picture of Dorian Gray (55) studied it and somehow managed to not read it...

I had quite a few of those over the years in school. Or I'd skim, & read parts of them. I did that for an entire semester of Shakespeare in college.

Sparknotes was what I relied on most of the time. My problem is that I was reading... just not reading the course material. Oops. I mostly used the courses to hear about books and then decide if I wanted to read them or not. I found some great books that way LOL

So totally doing this! Also doing one about the most-banned books... as well, I also need to update my reading list, as I never did a September total... ^_^;;

I'll have to steal the banned book one :)
