It would be interesting if Amazon allowed you to post your rating of the book in the Recently Read section. The last thing I want to do is go directly to Amazon and have to read through all the reviews.

For a different approach to reading:

- Quicksilver (Neal Stephenson). a 4: Great romp through the late 17th century, bringing together the history of science, politics, and religion with characters real and fictitious. Can be a little hard to follow, I started this over my New Year’s break at the beginning of the year. The Confusion is next.

- An Essay Concerning Human Understanding (John Locke) a 4: a great book by one of the founders of modern empiricism, Locke could afford to dispense with a few of the double, triple, and quadruple negatives and comma diarrhea that, would I not but have had great interest, then, in this topic, I could not have but, by your leave, put it down long ago. Started this one at the beginning of the summer, read it every day, I’m about 80% done.
