Devourer of Books posted this meme earlier today and it was so inspiring to me. We might even come up with a way to make it a friendly, book blogging competition.
We both are fans of LibraryThing and this the list of what at least was once the listing of the top 106 unread books (annotated to match my experience as modeled by Dev):
Asterisk – I own the book
Bold – I’ve read the book – w/link if reviewed

Stricken – I hated the book
Underline – on my current TBR list
