review context

Since I just posted a review, in which I all but said “do not read it”, I thought I’d put it (the review) in context. The best way to do this I think is to post the current content of my Kindle, sans reviews but perhaps a short note on those I feel strongly about. (This list is completely uncensored in any way)

Before I started doing so I didn’t think I’d be such a long list. But I surprised myself. However the idiom says “the clothes make the man” perhaps one can in the same manner judge my mind, brain, intellect or personality by the books I have currently loaded up on ? feel free to speculate and comment. I will not be offended.
