Don’t we all have one? That book that remains in the bathroom to pass the time while your <ahem> “contemplating life”?

This is mine.
It has a wide collection of books – classics, old, recent, obscure, and popular. They are short entries that tell where the author got their inspiration.
I every time I read from it I think, “I need to make a list of the books I want to read.” But then I put it down and don’t remember until I pick it back up again!
