A Meme: Unread books that I have read
A meme from Steve the Interloper
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.
(In addition to the three rules above, I have marked every book that I own with an asterisk. I have practically all my books in LibraryThing and I don't think I have marked any as read, so I have contributed to these numbers!)

Let's not read Middlemarch together and have a book club where we don't talk about it.

Does it count as "read" if you listen to an unabridged audio version?
