Because *everyone* is doing it... book meme!

Lifted from wyvernfriend, though I read intertext's first. 
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, italicise 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 added a star for love and/or many rereads, S for school or university.

Not to be left out... (note that the asterisks show that I loved it either when I read it or at some point since - they don't necessarily mean I love it now! Ditto, I suppose, with the strikeouts.)

See - despite your regular repetition of the 'fact' that I read more than you we have the same number of these read. Or at least I think we do - having a meltdown moment and wouldn't guarantee ability to count. Meltdown day rather!

I'd forgotten you'd read Les Miserables too - wasn't it for a student who then changed his/her mind about using it as a text? I was given it by J., who'd read an abridged version but hadn't realised, so gave me the unabridged as a Must-Read.

I'd probably hate Portrait too if I could remember more about it than the last line or two. (Which I do hate!)
