I've gone capitalist! Since I was linking to Amazon all over the place anyway, I joined the Associates program. If you visit Amazon through this link or one in my notes and then buy something, I'll get a commission. If I actually make any money, I'll be sure to let you know what kind of candy bar I buy with it. Of course I recommend you try your local independent bookstore first. I'm lucky to live near the magnificent Wordsworth Books in Cambridge.

My friend Steph and I have very similar taste in books and movies, the kind where when the other person recommends a book and you don't really like it, you feel kind of like it's your fault for not getting it, rather than the other person's fault for recommending a lousy book. At least that's how I feel, maybe she's better balanced. Anyway, the point of which is that you might want to read her book reviews too.

This list doesn't include the more technical non-fiction I read on topics like computer science, music theory, and games like chess and go.

One book was enough of a project that it got a page of its own, detailing my progress as I journeyed through it. See the Proustometer, if you dare.

Each year is on a separate page now; just click to get to the appropriate review. I've also made an index for your browsing pleasure.
