Detail of Michelangelo's grocery list for an illiterate servant
List fiends and ephemera fans will want to make a note of chavenet's post on the excellent One Thing After Another: A Reading List for Lovers & Makers of Lists by Kanya Kanchana, and add Mefi's own gnimmel of "Listing to Port," and bkeaggy of Milk, Eggs, Vodka and grocerylists.org. (thank you kristi and limeonaire!) to your loving list of delightful listers.
