READ ANY GOOD LISTS, LATELY?

by sandy feet

I've noticed more and more lately that no one wants to take the time to read anymore; we want our information predigested and compacted into neat, bulleted columns. Thanks in part to David Letterman and the internet, we have become a nation of list-readers -- immune to subtle nuance, oblivious to the finer details, ignorant of the stories behind the numbers.

Having said that, I will proceed without further ado to "sandyfeet's arbitrary collection of spring break lists." Prepare to be enlightened!
