Most of the books I read in high school were not what you would classically think of "high school" books. In fact, most stuff we read was out of a text book  >:(  Lame California standards.
'Tis quite a shame how unread I am.

EDIT:  After having gone through the list, the only one I was required to read in school was Catcher in the Rye.  Yeep
The following list are the top 106 books most often marked as unread by LibraryThing users.


1. Bold and italicize the ones you've read and own.
2. Bold the ones you've read but don't own.
3. Italicize the ones you own but haven't read.
