I love memes like this... you are supposed to bold the books you have read, italicize the books you started but didn't finish, and leave alone the books you've not tried (yet!); however I could not leave well enough alone and annotated my responses. This list comes from Library Thing's most commonly checked list of books folks haven't read, based on their website responses.
