supergee branch of the library.
These are 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. The numbers after each one are the number of LT users who used the tag of that book.
I have gone further, and underlined the books that, even though I don't recall reading them all the way through, I'm fairly familiar with, either from numerous references or tv/moves, and put an asterisk next to books on my To Be Read list (or even on my nightstand currently).

Date: 2007-10-10 10:34 pm (UTC)Good to find you online at LJ. I happened across your photo on Skylarker's journal and said to myself, Isn't that DavE? Nice to see that it is. I hope you are doing well. If you e-mail or telephone perhaps we should exchange data (Aliera Jean among others has my cell phone #) though I'd prefer not to post such info to LJ, even though it may be perfectly safe to do so. What do you think? Can I rejoin MN-StF from Colorado? ;-)
