Stolen from starlightmoonla.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. 1984 A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius Angela’s Ashes : a memoir (This book is genius. It made bouncy_castle79say "'Tis" to me for a while in every sentence.)Anna Karenina Beloved Brave New World Crime and Punishment Dracula Emma Frankenstein Great Expectations Gulliver’s Travels In Cold Blood : a true account of a multiple murder and its consequences Jane Eyre (I also tried to re-read it once independently and didn't get very far) Lolita Love in the Time of Cholera Mansfield Park Memoirs of a Geisha Middlemarch Moby Dick Mrs. Dalloway Northanger Abbey Oliver Twist On the Road One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest One Hundred Years of Solitude Persuasion Pride and Prejudice Sense and Sensibility Tess of the D’Urbervilles (OMG, I hate this book...) The Blind Assassin The Canterbury Tales The Catcher in the Rye (I was the only person who didn't have to read this in school.) The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time The God of Small Things The Hobbit The Picture of Dorian Gray The Poisonwood Bible : a novel The Prince The Silmarillion The Tale of Two Cities (The only Dickens I ever enjoyed) The Unbearable Lightness of Being To the Lighthouse Treasure Island War and Peace Watership Down (Yay! One of my top two books ever!) Wuthering Heights Catch-22 Guns, Germs, and Steel Life of Pi : a novel The Brothers Karamazov (Ugh. And one of bouncy_castle79's favorite books ever.)The Iliad Ulysses Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance : an inquiry into values A Clockwork Orange A Confederacy of Dunces (Everyone should read this. It's hysterical.) A People’s History of the United States : 1492-present A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (Who understands Joyce? Anyone?) A Short History of Nearly Everything American Gods Anansi Boys Angels & Demons (Liked it better than "DaVinci Code," actually) Atlas Shrugged Cloud Atlas Collapse : how societies choose to fail or succeed Cryptonomicon David Copperfield Don Quixote Dubliners (I take it back. This bit of Joyce I love) Dune Eats, Shoots & Leaves Foucault’s Pendulum Freakonomics : a rogue economist explores the hidden side of everything Gravity’s Rainbow Inferno Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell (great book, everyone!) Les Misérables Madame Bovary Middlesex Neverwhere Oryx and Crake Quicksilver Reading Lolita in Tehran : a memoir in books (The Book Duo stopped reading this, as it was too boring) Slaughterhouse-five The Aeneid The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay The Confusion The Count of Monte Cristo The Fountainhead The Grapes of Wrath (Ugh. Another book I hated) The Historian : a novel The Hunchback of Notre Dame The Kite Runner The Mists of Avalon (Sorry, bouncy_castle79)The Name of the Rose The Odyssey (Many, many times. I liked it better each time) The Once and Future King The Satanic Verses The Scarlet Letter The Sound and the Fury The Time Traveler’s Wife (I was less wowed by this book than everybody else) Vanity Fair White Teeth Wicked : the life and times of the wicked witch of the West

Wow. I've only read two of those books and only because it was required for school. But does it count that I saw a lot of those in movie form? lol |
