Library

This library is a record of books that I’ve read, with a written response to each. There are no ratings here. I limit recommendations, and I do not write with the aim of reviewing. A book might make me think about something else, I may engage extensively with one passage, or I might evaluate the argument of the text as a whole. The texture of my responses will shift depending on the text.

Every book I finish (and some I don’t) receives a response. Some of my responses are short—perhaps a few paragraphs—while others may be entire essays. The amount written is a reflection not of the quality of the book, but of my own thinking.

My books are listed in reverse-chronological order by when I completed them. Each entry is listed in full bibliographic form, with a short annotation below. Some of these I own, others I do not.
