Jenn invites people to play along on this meme she found:

These are the top 106 books most often marked as “unread” by LibraryThing’s users (as of Oct. 1). Bold is for books you’ve read. Italics for books you’ve started but haven’t finished. Strikethrough is for books you found unreadable. Leave the ones you haven’t read as they are. Put an asterisk before each book you want or plan to read.

I think it’s worth noting here that there is a difference in my mind between unreadable, which is what the meme asks for, and not to my taste. None of the books I started (or that I haven’t read, for that matter) strike me as unreadable. But a number of them just weren’t (or aren’t) the sort of thing I enjoy.
