I don’t intend to write a “political blog” (what the world needs now), but I may sporadically rant and rave and spew my opinion about that-or-this or one of the other things, political, impolitical, or otherwise. I will try to use helpful subcategories to keep things ill-organized. I file posts related to books and music here on the off chance I might let loose my inner literary or music critic. A significant source of bloviation will be centered on my lists of the great novels of the 20th century:
- 113 Great 20th Century Novels
- 46 Great 20th Century Crime Novels
- 45 Great 20th Century SciFi/Fantasy Novels
Note that Blather is a closely-related category, and I may occasionally cross-post in these categories.
