Via willendorf5761 (Who knew there were already 5760 “willdendorf”s on eljay?)
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 willendorf5761, I’m not doing the underlining. Bold means I’ve read it, whether for school or for my own purposes (though the only one I recall being a school book is Pride & Prejudice, and I’ve read it since for fun, more than once). Italic means I started and didn’t finish. Plain text means I haven’t even tried.
