The full title is the List of Indispensable Science Fiction for the Compleat Gentleman.... this is a list I found online in 2020 which I did not finish after having a bad time with H.G. Wells, but I'm ready to dip my toe back in. If anyome else wouod like to be a compleat gentleman (gender neutral) with me, come along :)

I asked my boyfriend why he doesn't read. He told me that a small amount of books use the medium to the greatest effect. I thought about it and I think I would like to see that more often as well.

Chapter names, footnotes, wacky narratives, 4th wall breaks, you get it.
