Ganked from a couple of people: Don't take too long to think about it. List 15 books you've read that will always stick with you -- The first 15 you can recall in 15 minutes.

So, basically, an excuse to list fifteen books! Awesome!

1. Anne of Green Gables (and sequels), L.M. Montgomery
2. Emily of New Moon (and sequels), L.M. Montgomery
3. The Lord of the Rings, J.R.R. Tolkien
4. Father Joe, Tony Hendra (mixed autobiography and biography)
5. The Song of the Lioness Quartet & sequels, Tamora Pierce
6. The Crucible Trilogy, Sara Douglass
7. The Betrayal of Arthur, Sara Douglass (non-fiction)
8. Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, anon, ed. Tolkien & Gordon
9. The Bible (to be clear: I have not read ALL of the thing. But I know I can't get away from it, it's too well ingrained in my psyche by now)
10. Thud (and other Discworld books, this is just the first one I owned), Terry Pratchett
11. Coraline, Neil Gaiman
12. Obernewytn (and sequels as far as Ashling), Isobel Carmody
13. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (and sequels), JK Rowling
14. The Complete Works of Banjo Patterson (not sure that I've read the whole thing, nor do I own it. Still, formative childhood wossname)
15. The Chronicles of Narnia, C.S.Lewis

Funny list, that.

DAMNIT

My boots are falling apart.

Screw this, I'm buying docs. ASAP. There's a docs shop near central station, I think. Maybe I'll go down there on Saturday and buy SHOES WHICH WILL NOT FALL APART SO EASILY.

In other news, I have decided that henceforth I shall exercise my slightly mad desire to feed people (Hah. Seems to be the only maternal instinct I possess) on kitsunejin. Unless, I suppose, she decides I'm weird or a dreadful cook.

Was going to cook Speculaas and take them to Sydney tomorrow, but since I'm sick, I shall not. No one wants Virus Inna Biscuit.

The Parable of the Shower. In which an Angel of the LORD appears, a technical-maiden refuses to participate in the angelic scheme, an old lady kicks angelic arse, and unto Compton a child is born.

ANNOUNCEMENT

It is currently zero degrees celcius outside.

It hasn't been over 10 degrees for about a week.

I haven't been turning heaters on until around 5pm. Yet I am somehow overheating in my room here. Insulation ftw?
