Q: I forgot the rule. I am currently reading The Unknown Ajax for my "U" but now I am worried "The" might be an issue. Do I need to pick out a new title? If so, does anyone have any ideas of something light and interesting to read that begins with "u" then?
I checked and Goodreads discounts (doesn't count) "The" when ordering my "To Read" or "Read" books when listing them in alphabetical order. So I think you're OK with doing the same and discounting the "The" in The Unklnown Ajax and using it as your "U" book. Go for it!

You can use or ignore "the"," a" and "an".
