yes everything before was leading up to this! listings in this topic may be used as the first part of the top 100 books project that may or may not happen. topic for that below..
https://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/75177057 i forgot what i said for the games topic and wish i had saved it so i could just paste it here. something about wanting to be finished with the medium in the sense that i've checked out everything that could potentially be a favorite that's already released and only concerning myself with the one or two new releases that interest me. requirements for 10/10 may be different for people and blah blah. ...

My current top 10 in some order (Was gonna make do this when Top 10s were a thing)
Good Omens Brave New World Slaughterhouse Five Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep Hyperion The Lies of Locke Lamora Flowers for Algernon The Road Dune The Stand Yeah I like Fantasy/Sci Fi If we count plays, Othello, The Tempest, A Midsummer Night's Dream and the Piano Lesson For Graphic Novels I've been really digging the Sandman but I'm not 100% on it yet. Nonfiction is a bit trickier to rank given it's heavily built on core arguments (at least ones I like to read) --- Build a man a fire and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life. - Terry Pratchett ... Copied to Clipboard!
