Creating, collecting, and sharing thoughts and ideas. And learning along the way.
Books I’ve read or half-read, or listened to on CD, and the reviews I’ve written following that. And other miscellania about books.

An End to Suffering by Pankaj Mishra: A most fascinating mix of autobiography; introspective coming-of-age reflections; assessments of philosophical inquiry across eastern and western civilizations; travel across North India and the West; and a thorough introduction to the Buddha and his teachings in a dispassionate and intellectual manner. #books #pankajmishra
