/lit/ - Literature

Hey, /lit/

Since every time /tv/ does one of these threads the /lit/ trolls come out of the woodwork, I thought it would be fun to see what comes of a 5x5 thread on your turf.

It's a bit of a tedious process, but follow that link and insert images for your 5 favourite albums, films, video games, books, and television shows. Make sure text is centred otherwise it will get cut off.

I'll just say mine because I feel like it.
Albums: Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space, Earth 2: Special Low-Frequency Version, Manners, Dopethrone, Spiderland
Books: Sophie's World, Candide, Meditations- I don't feel I've read enough proper literature to pick two more, if I did it'd be on a whim and I'd just be picking them for the sake of it.
I don't enjoy cinema, video games, or television.

Here as in /lit/? I figured I was missing out on a type of medium I felt I had never given a real chance, so I decided to come here, get a few suggestions, and read.
