Probably half of the ones I started and didn't finish are ones that I didn't actually own and gave back to their respective owner, or always read when I was in a bookstore but never took home. Also, I can't remember if I've read some of these, which I suppose is as good as not reading them if they didn't make much of an impression.
Also, the HTML in this is making some of the words run together. Not sure what up with that.
