that's about 17. more what came to mind than absolute yay favourites. and
what i saw on my bookshelf in front of my computer. i have a niggling sense
of many missing so i'm stopping and allowing myself the chance of future

most personal significance, that moment when you go WOW and realise you've
found something extremely cool indeed.
