Space where I can write about what I read
-- Current Reading -- Robert Frost (Library of America), Selected Letters (Ralph Ellison), Public Moralists (Stefan Collini), Sandman (Gaiman), Collected Journalism, etc. (Orwell)
"Good criticism is a matter of bouncing some of the books you have read off the rest of the books you have read."
-- Richard Rorty
