These books are ones I associate with turning points in my life: my foray into the rebellious, my love affair with the nonsensical, my enduring hunger for the philosophical. Some of the books here are so loved that I have two copies, one to read and one to cherish. Some of them aren’t even with me, only visited once or twice from the library (but forever bound thanks to convenient PDFs). Lastly, some of the books here are old: their spines cracked and pages browned, a testament to rainy days and comforting nights.
[EDIT 2015.01.02: It’s been three months since I first posted this, and I’m definitely not halfway through! Haha. Will make the effort to finish this before September comes around again!]
[EDIT 2015.09.22: I will finish this. Someday.]
