Book Reviews

October 6, 2006 by TFB

This is a list of books I reviewed or will be reviewing on my blog. Good books are on my Recommended Reading List. New books will be added as I review them. I use a four-star grading system:

**** = Excellent, highly recommended
*** = Good, you will learn something
** = Fair, skip, you won’t miss anything
* = Poor, avoid! Does more harm than good.
