(Thank you for the hello, Samwise). The books meant a tremendous amount to me, which was the major reason a) I am here and b) for starting this thread. I have always found reading patterns fascinating. I have just finished a short story by Tibor Fischer (well recommended) about a man who is trying to read anything that has ever been written. It was a dark little story, and in the end inevitably depressing, but it started me on this train of thought:

How did I end up reading the books I am reading today? (Currently the Fischer, a collection from Christopher Ross, Octave Mirbeau's Torture Garden and the incomparable Rimbaud)

How did I get there from what I read before? Curious.
