I just added this to the recently viewed list, but it's a good chance to thank sionnach for his De Quincey list. Thank you, sionnach.
Hey! Does anyone have a "Thank you, sionnach" list yet?

Gee. Thanks, 'zuzu!
I must confess that I had completely forgotten that I had a DeQuincey list. Though I would recommend staying away from the opium, DeQ is a fine writer.

I might not have been so drawn to it, but--by a somewhat iroquoisy coincidence--I recently found out one of my grandfather's grandfathers claimed to be De Quincey's great-grandson. (Mostly it's iroquoisy because frogapplause shared some interesting research over on Soylent Green is people!, and this whole family history thing seems to be a theme.)
Edit: also, I've been studying the names of Greek letters lately (they're acceptable Scrabble words).
