No one wants their last words to be "Oh my God! The old gypsy woman was right..."
Here’s another Internet meme passed on by Stu. The list below is 100 books most often marked as “unread” by LibraryThing’s users. That is, you own them but haven’t read them. Here’s the deal. Put this list on your website and then bold the ones you have read on your own, italicize the ones you have started but have not finished (add an asterisk * to the ones you own), and underline the ones you read in school.
