Below are reviews and musings on the books I have on my Kindle. I write these to whittle away at whatever I understood in the hopes to find something tractable. As for the various cookbooks, attempts at recipes and the respective successes and failures. The Posts are auto-generated from Calibre library via shell scripts and a custom gem. Most reviews are unfinished but I have left them up to hold myself accountable to you, the dear reader. Once I complete reviewing a certain book it's title will float upwards hyperlinked.
