These are the top 106 books most often marked as "unread" by LibraryThing's users. Bold what you have read, italicize what you started but couldn't finish, and strike through what you couldn't stand. Add an asterisk to those you've read more than once. Underline those you own but haven't read yet.
Most of the classic on this list I read as a kid because we had the books in our attic along with Shakespare, Mark Twain, Zane Grey, Edgar Rice-Bourghs and piles of others I can't recall. My grandmother loved to read just about anything she could get her hands on. I seemed to have inherited that without ever meeting her.
