Discover magazine lists its top 25, plus 8 honorable mentions. At first, I was proud of how many I'd read, but as the list went on, I was horrified at how many I own and have been meaning to read. Is it too early to make a 2007 New Year's resolution?

Judging from the number of times I've been sent this animated short, it must be the most viral thing on YouTube lately. I can see why: It's great story-telling and it thrills me while leaving a smile on my face and a lump in my throat.
