On The (rules of the) Road

The Methodology

Rule #1: I only recommend books I like, not books that a million other people think are awesome and I think are shite. Of course, I do like books that other people like as well. I'm not a hipster reader.

Sub-Rule #1a: Sometimes I'm a hipster reader. Deal.

Rule #2: Recommendations come with related books and things. If you hate the related items and then hate the book you know who's fault that is? Yeah, not mine.

Rule #3: There will be no Steinbeck

My Virtual Bookcases

This is an electronic version of the actual books I have chosen to spend money on in the last 10 years that I've been buying books. Some are a little wack. Whatever.
