Book meme

From danceswithgary. I'm not very well-read in the classics, and that should *really* change because I'm studying English. Ah well.

These are the top 106 books most often marked as "unread" by LibraryThing's (as of today). Have you read them?

Bold what you have read, italicize what you started but couldn't finish, and strike through what you couldn't stand. The numbers after each one are the number of LT users who used the tag of that book.

( The list )

Okay, maybe I'm more well-read than I thought, but I started an awful lot of books without finishing them. It's a bad habit.

Three posts in a day. I spam because I can :D

Almost everyone has done this meme, and I kinda can't resist.

The one who seduced you and fucked you over and broke your heart in a million pieces and laughed about it:

Smallville. What else.

The old flame you don't see very often any more but whom you still really enjoy getting together with for a few drinks and maybe a pleasant nostalgic romp in the sheets:

Harry Potter, Highlander, Buffy, Star Trek, various small fandoms

The mysterious dark gothy one whom you used to sit up with talking until 3 a.m. at weird coffeehouses and with whom you were quite smitten until you realized he really was fucking crazy:

Anime/Manga, perhaps. But I did a little more than sit up and talk. (This also sounds very much like one of my real flings. With, you know, an actual person.) Lord of the Flies.

The one you spent a whole weekend in bed with and who drank up all your liquor, and whom you'd still really like to fuck again although you're relieved he doesn't actually live in town:

SGA, although it was more half a year than a weekend.

The steady:

Smallville, although my real steadies (the ones I will be coming back to as long as there'll be fic) are Highlander and Harry Potter.

The alluring stranger whom you've flirted with at parties but have never gotten really serious with:

Doctor Who, X-Files, House

The one you hang out with and have vague fantasies about maybe having a thing with but ultimately you're just good buddies 'cause the friendship is there but the chemistry ain't:

Weird, perhaps, but: DCU. I hang out with it, but I can't seem to seriously start writing it apart from the occasional toon!Lex thing. Heroes is still in this category as well.

The one your friends keep introducing you to and who seems like a hell of a cool guy except it's never really gone anywhere:

My friends suck, they don't introduce me to anything. Oh, wait. My real life friends! Desperate Housewives and Sex and the City. Bah, girl shows. *shudders*

The one who's slept with all your friends, and you keep looking at him and thinking, "Him? How the hell did he land all these cool babes?":

Bandom

The one your friend has fallen for like a ton of bricks and whom she keeps babbling to you about on the phone for hours, and you'd be happy for her except you just know it's going to end badly:

Supernatural, although I don't think it's gonna end badly. BSG.

The ones you repeatedly cheat on your steady with:

Doctor Who. Any of these except perhaps Anime/Manga.

I feel that there should be another category:
The number of youthful mistakes and exes that you loved madly for some reason that you can't fathom anymore and that you never every think about anymore except when you're trying to remember how many relationships you had in your life, and then you kinda feel surprised that you ever knew these people - and what became of them, anyway?
Pretender, Earth: Final Conflict, Ocean Girl(yes, that's a kids show - but when you write to the TV station begging them to bring a show on again, that's definitely being fannish. So is taping episodes so you can write down the scripts and replay them with Playmobil figures and your best friend.)
