Have slowly begun rating and adding my 20 books recently, mostly on my "influences" shelf. It's made me think about what my real favourite reads are (rather than just the enjoying of whatever I'm reading just now because it was the thing that caught my eye most recently - which has made up a surprising amount of my reading over the years now I look back) and has turned up with a few surprises for me. It's strange how something like Second Foundation has stuck with me over the years where many other more conventional literary "classics", however much I've appreciated or admired the writing in them, have not done so in the same way. Just shows how personal the whole reading experience is.
