Me too! 33 may well be best answer to anything ever.

And I am very glad to hear your answer to 55 because I've had a couple of people express surprise that I'm reading things for pleasure as well as PhD, and well reading is part of who I am and if I'm not reading, then I'm ill.

I am very fond of Virago Book of Wicked Verse too. I think that quite a few of the poems I've picked for various poetry days on LJ are from that.

And 12 books is the maximum limit from ECL.
