[baaa…] booklist

From [livejournal.com profile] peake, 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. I’ve also underlined a few that I haven’t read, but that are on my current to-read list.

The numbers after each one are the number of LT users who used the tag of that book.

Seems odd that so many people are apparently unable to finish Neil Gaiman’s books - I’ll grant they they may not be to everyone’s taste, but I would have thought that anyone who made the attempt would be into fantasy of some sort, and could hardly fail to be captivated by his writing.
