Earthly minds, like mud walls, resist the strongest batteries; and though, perhaps, sometimes the force of a clear argument may make some impression, yet they nevertheless stand firm, keep out the enemy, truth, that would captivate or disturb them.

John Locke, An Essay Concerning Human Understanding

I decided, when I started this site, that I would never review a book I couldn't recommend. Every book in this section has either pleased me, taught me, or challenged me in a worthwhile way.

Okay, it's been a year or more, and I've only put one book in this list. It's not that I only have one I can recommend. The truth is that I haven't figured out a way to do book reviews that I don't hate, so I keep putting them off.

I'm working on it. Soon (by which I mean, before I die of old age) I'll either get rid of this section or figure out how to do something meaningful with it.
