Thoughts of the Moment

Much of what crosses my mind does so in passing. For the sake of somewhere to put it, without the pretence of it fitting into an overall hierarchy of ideas, I have this area of my website; its contents are filed according to when I wrote them, and try to explain in their introductions what prompted them. Along with such thoughts of the moment it seems to be a suitable place for book reviews. Consequently, this index is based on chronology. I'm perfectly happy that this isn't enough to qualify the result as a blog: that isn't something I'm trying to do.
