I saw this today over at In the Shadow of Mt. TBR and had to do it, too. I'm like that about lists. (Speaking of Mt. TBR, be sure to leave a comment over there for chance to win a Borders gift card!)
Explains Mt. TBR:
These are the top 103 (was 106, but I guess I lost 3 somewhere) books most often marked “unread” (or the equivalent) by LibraryThing’s users. The rules are: BOLD the books you have read, italicize the books you started but did not finish (DNF), *STAR* the books you’ve read more than once, underline books that are on your TBR pile, and cross out books that you hated.
Here is my list; I've read 47 of the 103 (there really are 103 here; something funky happened with the automatic numbering):
