Found your name on the "new" shared favourites, and intrigued to discover I would endorse all of your 18 (except Dawson, who is too 'religious' for me, Twain who is the opposite, and Barzun because I'm not familiar with his work).
Especially good to see someone still rooting for Rosenstock-Huessy.
Like your portrait as well; I have a fondness for boys with beards (tee-hee)
