A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt

In the democracies of the world, the passion for freedom of speech and of thought is always accentuated when there is an effort anywhere to keep ideas away from people and to prevent them from making their own decisions. One of the best ways of enslaving a people is to keep them from education and thus make it impossible for them to understand what is going on in the world as a whole. […] The second way of enslaving a people is to suppress the sources of information, not only by burning books, but by controlling all the other ways in which ideas are transmitted.

Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962) First Lady of the US (1933-45), politician, diplomat, activist
Column (1943-05-11), “My Day”

(i regret not including my age when i read the first 8 books, because these books were essential for the formation of my personality, which has been ever evolving. book covers 1-7 were all between the ages of 13 and 17. book 8 (Vachss) was in my 40's. today's book was also in my teens. i guess i'm trying to be somewhat sequential with my choices)
