Placeholder for eventual nonfiction book reviews
I’ve set this up as a placeholder for future book reviews, typically about the history of a region or religion, and probably associated reading lists. There will be few other posts and no opinion essays.
For more info, see: About.
Why subscribe before you’ve seen a review? Good question. If you subscribe now, but you find the first review low-quality when you eventually see it, I will write you a short poem of apology for the disappointment. Who else has written you a poem lately?
I just put Shamanism in Siberia on my overly long reading list, thank you very much! Seriously though, sometimes the more obscure stuff (where there's less of a chance that you'll have absorbed it through osmosis of popular narratives, etc) is much more worthwhile. So start with that book if you want!
Just subscribed via RSS, as I always do.
Those poems better be good!
