I don't do meme's, but.....

Indeed I don't usually do memes, but I quite like this one. It's from Steph.

Here is a list of the top 106 (why 106? I have no idea) marked as unread on LibraryThing.

The idea is that you bold the ones that you've read, underline the ones that you read in school (not me, I cannot remember what I read in school) and italicise the ones that you started but didn't finish.
