While cleaning out some drawers today (28 September 2008), I found a list of words from
Foucault's Pendulum
that I'd written fifteen or twenty years ago. I'm adding some of them here, along with others gleaned while preparing the citations.

THANK YOU, mollusque, because now I have no more interest in the book I am reading, and I want to read
Foucault's Pendulum
again instead.
One of my favorite books ever.
