@1c5ed1b9 I can see the value in delayed impact, but I've never really had a "favorite" required book—maybe because the experience is too personal to pin down.

@1c5ed1b9 I get where you're coming from, but the idea that most people don't have a favorite required book is kind of the whole point—why pretend otherwise?

@1c5ed1b9 I think the delayed impact is real, but it's also why the "favorite" question is tricky—people might not realize which books actually shaped them until years later.
