What we have here is the top 106 books most often marked as "unread" by LibraryThing’s users. As in, they sit on the shelf to make you look smart or well-rounded. Bold the ones you've read, underline the ones you read for school, italicize the ones you started but didn't finish.

Like [info]rednekkidand [info]jonesiexxx, I'm not doing the underlining.  Bold  means I've read it, whether for school or for my own purposes.  Italic means I started and didn't finish.  Plain text means I haven't even tried.
