Recommended

As a result of this blog, I'm often asked which books I particularly recommend, so as a result of pure laziness on my part, and in recognition of my dreadful memory, I created this page containing links to all of the books I have rated 9/10 or 10/10.

As the explanation of my rating system hopefully makes clear, it's a very selective list.
