Have you read those books or are you just trying to appear smart?

noraleah:

Below is a list of 106 books most often marked as “unread” by LibraryThing users. They sit on their shelf, perhaps to make their owner feel smart or well-rounded.

America, WTF? You think having The Time Traveler’s Wife and Angels and Demons on your bookshelf will make you look smart? The Time Traveler’s Wife was the worst book I ever finished and I have also finished Confessions of a Shopaholic (and The Devil Wears Prada). Barf on you, America.
