The top 106 books most often marked as "unread" by LibraryThing's users (as of today). As usual, bold what you have read, italicize what you started but couldn't finish, and [strike through] what you couldn't stand--but I don't know how to do this, so...let's just put an asterisk next to it. (I've also underlined those I own and hope to read, but haven't got around to yet.) The numbers after each one are the number of LT users who used the tag of that book.
