There is a meme going around that lists the top 106 books most often marked unread on LibraryThing. I saw it in a post by another Steph. My first reaction to her title was, “Great! Finally a meme that shows off my most awesome talent of procrastination!” Then, as I started to read, glanced at the list, and noticed that the first two are books I am currently working on (In fact, they are the two books specifically named by title on my 101 things page).
I don’t really want to play, but I thought it would be interesting to see how many of these I actually read. So I counted. (If you want to play, you can get them meme from the link to the other Steph’s page above)
18 read.
4 started, but not finished.
I think that there must be at least 50 of them on my bookshelf. Maybe some day I will get to more of them.
I saw it on Steph’s blog, too. I’ve read 40 of them in their entirety (I cannot leave a book half-read, no matter how awful.) But I read nearly all of those before I had kids, and before the whole knitting obsession kicked in.
