Notes From Various Books
Every now and then, I
take notes on a book
if it offers up such well-expressed insight that I know I'll want to review it
later, or of course,
if it is borrowed from a friend and she wants it back! Anyway, I thought that these bits and
pieces might help someone know whether or not they might like one of these
selections, or at least, to just enjoy the notes themselves.
