b.evill at spamblocker.tyndale.apana.org.au (Brett Evill) did something
allowing me to incorporate a very witty verb in this line and produced:

I also left out 'The Golden Bough', 'The Interpretation of Dreams',
Einstein's papers on Relativity, Mao's Little Red Book, Keynes' 'General
Theory of Money, Interest, and Unemployment', Cranmer's 'Book of Common
Prayer', and dozens of others. I got tired.
