Librarything's 106 most "unread" books. I don't trust that assertion as far as I can throw it, but whatever. Bold what you've read; italicize what you started but couldn't finish. Like Sarah, I'm omitting the "underline things you want to read" direction because that's cheating.

Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell
Anna Karenina
Crime and Punishment
Catch-22
One Hundred Years of Solitude
Wuthering Heights (HATE.)
The Silmarillion (Finishing that was a feeling akin to finishing a marathon. It's only 300 pages, but you feel every one of them.)
Life of Pi
The Name of the Rose
Don Quixote (My Spanish wasn't good enough to make it through the whole thing, and somehow reading the translation never occured to me at the time.)
Moby Dick
Ulysses (One of these days, I'll read the parts I wasn't there for at the marathon reading...)

Pride and Prejudice
Jane Eyre
The Tale of Two Cities (Ugh.)
The Brothers Karamazov
Guns, Germs, and Steel

26 I've read, 11 I started. I'm really curious to know what the actual criteria for making this list were.

Also, new mood theme courtesy of nnaylime in the adama_roslin community. Aww, Mom and Dad. Only two-ish months until the TV movie! (Hmmm, if I plan on rewatching the whole series before then, I'd better get cracking.)
