Buying books would be a good thing if one could also buy the time to read them in... (Arthur Schopenhauer)

Got this from Badger.

"What you do is take the following list of books (the top 106 marked most often as "unread" by LibraryThing’s users). Bold the ones you've read, italicize the ones you started but couldn't finish, strike through the ones you really sort of hated, put an asterisk next to the ones you've read more than once, and underline the ones on your own personal To Be Read list.

Got it? Alrighty then."
