These are the top one-hundred-six books most often marked as "unread" by LibraryThing’s users. Bold those you've read. Italicize those you started but couldn't, didn't or haven't finished. Strike through those you despise. Put an asterisk next to those you've read more than once. Underline those in the TBR pile.
Hmm, as I check the list, there need to be some additional classifications: books that bored me to tears; overhyped books that should go out of print.
