OK, OK, OK
Apr. 30th, 2008 03:07 pm Alright, I'm jumping in - stolen from several people:
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. (How the heck can you make a list like that? Line up all the phony intellectual douchebags and ask? Haha! ~K) Bold the ones you've read, underline the ones you read for school, italicize the ones you started but didn't finish. Here's the twist: add (*) beside the ones you liked and would (or did) read again or recommend. Even if you read them for school in the first place.
( Read more... )
What I find interesting about this list is that the majority of the books that were school assignments were assigned prior to sophomore year and quite a few of them were assigned in Jr. High - which means that I had an exceptional education. Another thing I find interesting is how many of the books in this list that I've read that I would recommend to someone else and/or read again ... which is to say almost none. Partly responsible, however, is the fact that I've read so many books and many of these were so long ago that I don't remember the book and I don't feel I can recommend a book that I don't remember. But, I suppose, if I thought it was a good book, I'd at least remember if I liked it enough to recommend it.
