Book Recommendations
For general book recommendations, I review all books I read on Goodreads at least with a star rating (books read before 2019 are unrated, although I am trying to re-read and rate as time permits). Books that are included here are for the most part non-fiction, unless the fictional story helps for understanding a culture. Four and five star books are highly recommended. I note my star ratings with some comments about the books. I do also include some books with poor ratings from me with the reasons why for completeness.
