Certo.
Acho a ideia boa.
Nada como isto para desenjoar da literatura que mais tem paasado lá por casa, ou seja, os folhetos da promoções do Lidl, Continente e outras editoras de renome.
Prometo que breve breve também partilharei a minha lista (folhetos excluidos, claro)

O tempo não é elástico, mas a mente sim, como se pode comprovar na exposição do MoMA "Design e a mente elástica". Segue uma sugestão para conseguires ler os tais 112 (número de emergência?! just in case?!) antes de quinares:

assim poderás "aviar" três de uma só vez...

112... número de emergência! Realmente não há hipótese de ler mais nenhum. É mesmo antes de quinar!
