reviews by category

hello friends. what follows is an attempt to categorize the books i review on here.  you will notice some books have a + sign next to them, while others have a - sign. as you might have guessed, + means highly recommended, whereas - means barf-bag highly recommended. those with no marking fall somewhere in between (in my humble estimation). happy reading!
