Book memes are the best memes
Once again, I have utterly failed to keep up posting here. I even have a whole new list of things I want to discuss! Which would take effort to write about, so here, have a meme instead:

A lot of the comments about the list in various places have been hilarious. I started to put together my own list, but hit 78 and got tired. I may try to put up some very short books and TV posts to try to get back in the habit of posting, though.
