This once was a page rather hubristically entitled “Modus Operandi” and containing a lot of text designed to make yours truly seem edgy and cool. It was sophomoric, juvenile, embarrassing, and it of course reeked of undergraduate. It was sort of funny, too, but not funny enough to warrant its survival.
I have instead nixed that whole situation in favor of sharing with my audience an unordered list of books which have been important to me throughout the course of my life. i will periodically add to the list when I read something particularly titillating. Do with these titles what you will.
