Book Notes

The following are reviews of and/or engagements with books from various periods on various topics. Unlike my film reviews, these are meant to be more in the way of meditations than actual quantified appraisals, and as such you’ll find no numeral scores or grades attached. It’s rare that I’ll even bother to write about a book I don’t find commendable in some way, anyhow, so the lack will not likely be very troubling.
