Another Librariany Meme

I'm not EVEN going to waste time telling you how I don't do memes this time - because I just did a meme and I'd like to preserve some credibility, you know? And I'm not doing this meme because anyone tagged me, or because I find some redemption in it, or some great and profound meaning either. It's just fun - plain old fun - in a librariany kind of way.....

Below are the top 106 books tagged “unread” in LibraryThing.
The rules:

Bold what you have read, italicize books you’ve started but couldn’t finish, and strike through books you hated. Add an asterisk to those you’ve read more than once. Underline those on your tbr list.

  1. I found shelfari before I found Library Thing. Seems like Library Thing might be more interactive. I just haven't felt like recreating my entire list from shelfari to LB. Do you know both?
    what do you think?

  2. oh! I've never heard of shelfari...you can only add 200 to LibraryThing unless you pay for it (which is QUITE reasonable!). And, I found it very easy to add books..the search is exquisite.

Your comments are welcome. Like all of you, I thrive on them. I do not ask that you agree, I do not ask that you even understand; but I like to know that you have been here. ~Lee
