Interlude: what I want

 I review because I care: I want you to read good books and avoid bad ones.

I also want to record the flow of human knowledge as organized by a Dewey Decimal library, and, incidentally, I want to record the effect that being exposed to all these branches of inquiry is having on me personally.

I may not do all these jobs every time. I may not do any of them very well at any time. But I am determined to keep trying and to improve as I go. Thanks for coming with me.
