Here and Back Again!


Some beginning I had! It's now 2013 and nearly four years have passed since my first (and only) blogpost on this blog. If you, the reader, should guess that my goals for this blog have somewhat changed, you'd guess rightly. Now all things are up for criticism, though I suspect I will focus more on books for some time.

Whenever I was young and my sister and I were arguing to play some board game, my sister would suggest several games to play. None of them interested me, yet I would suggest nothing of my own. Mom would say, "now Nathan, if you are going to disagree, you have to suggest something yourself." I think these are sage words. In keeping with her words, I shall not just criticize, but also propose a few ideas of my own. For this opposite task, I have created a sister blog: Experiments in Argumentation.

Also, dear reader, I must beg you to put up with what may turn out to be awful writing. I don't write very often, and I hope to get better with time. If you have any pointers as to style or any disagreements with your author's opinion, comments are more than welcome.
