Kind of wish there were a box of influential books distributed to every 12-year old. Like the Finnish baby box, but for cognition.

@starsandrobots Unfortunately, I only came across most of these much later in life. -
@davidmanheim Right? HERE'S THE CURE! I found all of these later and totally wished I'd had them much earlier. -
@davidmanheim Interested in trying the experiment of affecting someone's life with this thing? (Know any 12-16 year olds?) -
@starsandrobots Yes, but not ones' I'm allowed to experiment on. (Their parents know me too well, I guess.)

@starsandrobots +5 on Sophie's World, excellent choice! -
@starsandrobots I think your list needs a fiction companion. My #1 pick: "So You Want to Be a Wizard" -
@adamwwolf I have such an excel spreadsheet now, it's great. Thanks! Adding it on.
