These are the top 106 books most often marked as “unread” by LibraryThing’s users (as of Oct 4). Thanks Reno!
Bold what you have read, italicize those you started but couldn’t finish, and strike through what you couldn’t stand. Add an asterisk to those you’ve read more than once. Underline those on your to-read list. ? for can’t remember if I ever tried to read it or not.

Having stolen this list from a Reedie, I’m also going to add in the annotations R, S, and HS if I read the book in question at Reed or Smith, or in high school.
