Lists
Good lord, I love lists.
On our family trip to California in 1988, I obsessed over my Uncle Don’s copy of the original 1977 printing of The Book of Lists by David Wallechinsky, his father Irving Wallace, and sister Amy Wallace. Uncle Don let me have it and it still sits in my collection.
Later in life, I had an account on listgeeks.com (RIP) and kept a series of lists, some of which are included here.
