The Art of the List
The general concept of a list, I think, connects it with the mundane and a style that is art-less. To-do lists, laundry lists, shopping lists, and wish lists are useful, but not something that we usually invest any craft in—they're functional, not artful.
Yesterday evening, lists came to my attention because of the incessant posting of one particular follower to one particular Twitter account, the owner of which had invited responses. I stopped following, but also started thinking about other lists, ones that I have actually admired.
