You draw on a number of literary works when writing your games. What are the top 5 books you most wish the people who enjoy your games would read?

If I do not have an appropriate ceremonial vessel to capture the blood, will any common household vessel suffice? If so, which would you recommend?

Fallen London contains a number of literary references to writers as diverse as Julian of Norwich and TS Eliot. What qualities do your writers look for when deciding which texts to cite or allude to? Are there any rules about who can and cannot be cited? Are certain authors reserved for certain purposes (such as the Waste Land dream quotes)?

Wonderful--thanks for the answer! If I could ask a follow-up, do you have some favourite citations/allusions that you find most players miss? Are there some deep cuts you'd like to point us players to?
