Time again for a marked-up list of books
Sep. 30th, 2007 04:59 pmApparently a list of the books most often marked unread by people who own them on LibraryThing; after the fashion of the other people who've done this (I spotted it at
yhlee and
truepenny), bold means that I've read it, italics that I started to but couldn't finish it, and strikethrough that I particularly disliked it.
( Obscured for length. )
Unsurprising things that we can deduce from this exercise:
Of the books that I did read, the ones I was assigned for school were Brave New World and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.

Unsurprising things that we can deduce from this exercise:
- I haven't read many of these at all, although in my defense (?) I also don't own many of them. (The 'owned but not got around to' subsection of the list seems to consist entirely of Mrs. Dalloway and Gravity's Rainbow.)
- If it's SF, I am significantly more likely to have read it than if it's otherwise, and
- If I started it, and it doesn't use quotation marks when people are talking, I wasn't able to finish it.
