I have a simple rule for reading books: I read the books I like, I read the books I don’t like and I read the books I think I ought to like. If you want to read a good book about reading books, then you may want to read J. Mortimer Adler’s classic “How to Read a Book.”
As I am always looking for recommendations for good books, my stack of unread books is sometimes quite high; though with my new “Kindle Reader” there is, technically, no longer a monumentally high stack of unread books. Like any bibliophile I am always happy to pass along a suggestion or two to others. What follows are links to other pages listing books that deal with a variety of subjects. Rather than make one long impenetrable list of my eclectic reading interests, I am going to gradually add to these pages links additional books on a variety of subjects.
As there is no end to the writing of books and as I, like you, have read a great many books (at least parts of them) that I’m not sure were worth the time to read, it is my intent to highlight only a few notable mentions in each of the categories.
