Janet Kagan's Opinionated, 2004
|
Now that I'm able to read again, I've been doing some catching
up. Here are some books I've been thrusting at friends and recommending
in restaurants and in phone calls and in e-mails. The list is
in no particular order and it's by no means complete.
These are just the books that are currently stacked on the
floor in my office, so I can love them a bit longer for the looking
at them. Since I had to stash a bunch downstairs for the floorspace,
I'll add some more later.
These are keepers. |
