Jenica (at Madstop Reading) put this one out, having read about it at Amanda's. "This is a list of the top 106 books most often marked “unread” by LibraryThing users. The rules: bold the ones you’ve read, underline the ones you read for school, italicize the ones you started but didn’t finish. Pop a note in the comments if you’ve done this one (and help me keep the dream alive)."Just to be annoying, I'm adding a * next to those I loved and an ^ by the ones I hated.
