These are the top 106 books most often marked as "unread" by LibraryThing's users (as of today). As usual, bold what you have read, italicise that you started but couldn't finish, and strike through what you couldn't stand. Add an asterisk* to those you've read more than once. Underline those on your to-read list.

Your Score: The Devoted Lover


63% partner focus, 14% aggressiveness, 45% adventurousness




Based on the results of this test, it is highly likely that:



You prefer your romance and love to be traditional rather than daring or out-of-the-ordinary, you would rather be pursued than do the pursuing and, when it comes to physical love, your satisfaction comes more from providing a wonderful time to your partner than simply seeking your own.



This places you in the Lover Style of: The Devoted Lover.



The Devoted Lover is a wonderful Lover Style, and is perhaps the best Lover Style when it comes to developing a long-term, caring and rewarding relationship. The Devoted Lover is a treasure to find, though it is sometimes difficult to time establishing a relationship with one just right; usually, this is the last romantic relationship you'll need to find, so sow any wild oats first.



In terms of physical love, the Devoted Lover can be shy at first but gradually warms and eventually can be a thrilling partner who knows every need of his/her partner. Given a strong and loving relationship, and the right lover, the Devoted Lover can be a delight in bed.



Best Compatibility can probably be found with: The Suave Lover (most of all) or the Classic Lover, or the Carnal Lover.



Congratulations!



If you enjoyed this test, I would love the feedback! Also, you might want to check out some of my other tests if you're interested in the following:

Your Score: A Berry Smoothie


If you were a drink, you'd be 58% alternative, 28% caustic and 38% playful. Mmm, tasty.




This image would not display correctly. Could you drop me a message to let me know?

So, we all know that people aren't beverages, and trying to drink other people won't end well for anyone. If you were a drink, though, I think you'd be a Berry Smoothie.



Berries, frozen yoghurt and a splash of apple or berry juice, blended until nice and frothy. You're not as mainstream as, say, a milkshake - but that's the way you like it. Sweet, energising, and refreshing, you're a guilt-free treat for anybody (and you're not too hard on the stomach afterwards, either).



In other words, you measured as somewhere in between popular and alternative. This may mean that you hover somewhere between left and right in your overall attitudes, or that your tastes are just a tiny bit left of centre, but still accessible.



You also measured as more gentle than caustic. This may mean that you're a less aggressive person, that you're generally calmer than most people, and that you are better at keeping a level head in most situations.



Finally, you measured as somewhere in between serious and playful. This may mean that you have found a good balance between being introspective and analytical, and being a bit more outgoing and silly. It may also mean your sex drive registers somewhere towards the centre. I had to group both of these areas under one variable.






I know you must be thirsty, but why don't you take another one of my tests? They're really good. Honest.

The Scatterbrain Test

My score on The "What's your Soul Instrument?" Test:


Theremin

(15 individuality, 16 complexity)



Congratulations! Your soul instrument is a theremin. When people first encounter one of these non-contact, motion-sensitive electronic instruments, their first reaction is:

"What the hell is that?"

And you know what, they'd probably say the same about you. You're a highly complex, intellectual and above all experimental individual, always pushing the boundaries of what is acceptable. You are in your element flying solo; as a result you can be a very exciting but sometimes detached and even intimidating person. You're alternative, sure, but sometimes a little too alternative and high-minded to be taken seriously.
