Book Reviews

Book Review

These Book Reviews cover mainly books I've read. I started this year, 2009, with the good intention of recording a list of all the books I read in a year. There is no way to keep track otherwise and it is always interesting to look back at year's end to see how many of the books were time-wasters, mind-soothers, and how many actually had some impact in my life and if lucky, inner self.

So I started off like a good person does .. but soon fell away. Now it is already May 2009, and at least a hundred books, or close to, must have passed my hands and eyes. But I have no record of them (apart from the first few in January) and the wee memory is not like I wish it was.

So I will just continue my list as is now .. missing gaps and all. Each may or may not have comments attached to them and if I really feel I need to say a whole lot about something, either because it crapped me off or it elevated me to dizzying heights, I will link a fuller article to it. So in truth, not every one of the listing is a book review. Please note, if I am selling on the books, there will be a link to it. (I tend to sell on my books as cheaply as possible. This is because I find the books are too heavy to be worth the bother of lugging them back to the shops for exchange or to sell them. There may be some dead links if the books are so. If so I apologize. I will try to clean up the links as I go.)

Addendum and Change of Format

I have decided I am not going to list the books I read by the year I read them in. I have found I cannot be relied on to keep up to date and make a comprehensive list. And certainly, I don't seem to find the time to do a review on each - despite my best intentions.

So henceforth, I am just writing some reviews on books that either really call out to me or if I find myself with time to do one.
