This list came as a result of me being greatly inspired by Taylor Hood’s simple, yet very effective method of listing his most treasured, favourite, eye-opening and close to heart books, movies, music, works of art and video games. This is a showcase of me doing a similar thing like he did on his blog over at Thitherword. The list is quite extensive and most of my favourite things are gathered in chronological order based on the various “levels” and stages of my life. This list is a subject to change and it will be constant work in progress. I will be adding more and more as the time goes by. I hope you get something out of it and use it for self-betterment or for whatever purpose you find useful.
