Book List

Another meme from Allison

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 (I turned them blue instead too), italicize the ones you started but didn't finish. 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, put !! next to the ones you mean to read...someday.

I don't consider myself well-read, so I was kind of surprised that I had read a lot of these.
