Am gasit o chestie simpatica aici, luata de aici. Se pare ca LibraryThing.com are o lista cu „the 106 most unread books” (nu „unreadable„, cum spun oamenii la care am gasit lista).
Invitatia e aceea de a evalua lista respectiva, alegand cartile:

citite si considerate destul de nasoale
citite si considerate destul de frumoase *
citite si puse in raftul cu favorite
