What've YOU read?

The top 106 books most often marked as "unread" by LibraryThing.com’s users.
'Unread' meaning that they sit on the shelf to make you look smart or well-rounded.
Clearly, this list makes me look like an illiterate fool, but oh well.

Bold the ones you've read
Make red the ones you read for school
Italicize the ones you started but didn't finish (or only read the Cliff's notes for)
* = on wishlist
** = in possession to read, just haven't yet
