Note: Yes, it's been a too long since I've had time to update this page. I do have a stack of books sitting around to add to it, but it's been so long since I read some of them that I'll have to read 'em again.

What I'm Reading / What I've Read

I should have started this years ago, when I was reading a lot more, but then again, the World Wide Web didn't exist then. At some point it'd be cool to list my entire library, with short reviews, but since that's boxes and boxes and boxes and boxes of books that I haven't unpacked yet, for the forseeable future let's just see how I manage to keep up logging what I read for the next few months.

For those who are simply curious about me, or for those who find capsule-form book reviews useful in their search for interesting books, this page records my opinions and observations about some of the books I've read recently.

May I ask a favour of you who read this page? I'd like some opinions on a format question. Should I keep the bibliographical notes at the end in the traditional last-name-first format for authors' names, or it it easier to read if I just put the names in straight?
