despite the plaintive title, i would totally love it if you guys felt like suggesting additions to this list. poetry, graphic novels, essays-whatever you like, really, & think i would like! the titles above are reasonably highfalutin, i know, but i am not at all above things like naomi novik &c.
also, more substantive post on life beyond books-i know, i know, i too question the existence of such a thing-coming soon. i swear! beyond the mountains of overdue essays, across the ocean of lost sleep, there is a land where we can live & love & update LJ: this i believe.
have appt, must run-
