“When I get a little money I buy books; and if any is left I buy food and clothes.” Erasmus (October 27, 1466 – July 12, 1536)
These are some of the books I buy (or pull from the library when I must buy food and clothes instead). The “Book Review” items give a full treatment, while the “5 Minute Book Review” items are shorter, more slight, and just a few thoughts on the books.
