These books are not being measured by a standard metric, as nothing is less standard than your own brain.
Seek no throughline, merely feel it.
Reorganization, images, and descriptions to come
Most of these books I read for the first time within the past 5 years, which is interesting. Although many books from my childhood stuck with me, I think I outgrew them/my tastes evolved far enough away from them that I couldn't in good conscience give any a spot from before I turned twenty.
