Here’s 2010; not as many as in 2009, but this was supposed to be a year of slow reading. This excludes things read for work & a couple of things that I’m in the process of writing up elsewhere. I’ve put up a directory of links to what I wrote here; I wish I hadn’t called these write-ups “reviews” in the first place, as they’re not really intended to be that, but oh well.
