About my libraryMy reviews here aren't for people who haven't read the books. They are problems raised by the books. I am happy to discuss the reviews (if that's what they are), but they're mostly mnemonics for me.

Also, sorry LibraryThing made me add all my own books, in order to qualify as an author. (July 2009)
