The thing to do here is bold the ones you've read and italicize the one's you started but never finished. Green are, IMHO, extra awesome.
It can't be a very good list though, where's Eragon?

You have never read Starship Troopers ???
Nope. I should put it in the category of started-but-didnt-finish, but really I was pretty yound when I started it and it never quite clicked.
I should read it and a few other classics I missed on the way.
