  • Thanks to better budgeting and a couple breaks, I've been able to build up my collection faster than I had anticipated! I've got the first 8 books now: CR, LALD, MR, DAF, FRWL, DN, GF, and FYEO. It could very well be my favorite collection of anythi…

  • I would be very pleased if Toronto went all the way ;) in fact it’d probably still be the most objectively exciting result.
