Here's the meme:

What we have here is the top 106 books most often marked as "unread" by LibraryThing’s users. As in, they sit on the shelf to make you look smart or well-rounded. Bold the ones you've read, underline the ones you read for school, italicize the ones you started but didn't finish.

To which I add star (*) books you have absolutely no intention of reading because you find the subject material or what you know about them utterly abhorrent... or deadly boring.
