to linger in the observation of things

The 2005 MacArthur Fellows
The Top 40 Most Important Works in the World (since 1927, at least)
The Top 100 Public Intellectuals
The Top 10 Artists to Watch 'Who Will Rule 2006'
The 12 Best Popular Science Books
The 13 Most Corrupt Members of Congress
The 50 Most Cited Works in the Arts & Humanities Index
The Top 10 People Who Should've Been Drafted into the Wu-Tang Clan
The 10 Most Frequently Challenged Books of 2004

The last category commemorates Banned Books Week and the ALA poster has a perfect Mark Twain quote: "Censorship is telling a man he can't have a steak just because a baby can't chew it."

"So it is with minds. Unless you keep them busy with some definite subject that will bridle and control them, they throw themselves in disorder hither and yon in the vague field of imagination... And there is no mad or idle fancy that they do not bring forth in the agitation." - Montaigne
