Incoherent Thoughts

Meme time. =D

What we have here is 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. Here's the twist: add (*) beside the ones you liked and would (or did) read again or recommend. Even if you read 'em for school in the first place.

As you can see, we didn't read stuff like these at school. They were always Finnish classics. :P You can also probably see that even if I'm not reading very much at the moment, I used to be a real bookworm. There were times in my life I'd go straight home from school, and read 'till night with only short food and bathroom breaks. Books are fun. =D
This list reminds me that there's still a ton of books that have been sitting on my 'to read' list for years and years...
