List of Real Reviews

In general, I write a short blurb about each book I read rather than writing a real book review. Although book reviews tend to be longer than blurbs, length isn't the main difference. Blurbs will say what I liked and didn't like about the book, and give others an idea of what it's about. A book review, on the other hand, is a short essay organized around supporting some point about a book. This page lists the reviews I've written, and also a few of the longer blurbs that are pretty close to being reviews. I write few real reviews since they requre substantially more thought and work than the blurbs, and because I often read books in areas that I don't know enough about to write a competent review.
