Meme - unread books

And from our "Life Goes On" department, here's a rare meme post taken from CW. These are the 106 books most often marked as “unread” by LibraryThing’s users. Bold the ones you’ve read, italicise the ones you started but didn’t finish and underline the ones read for school.

Why 106? No idea.
