Instead of railing against the kinds of writing that leave me cold, I will attempt to follow the dictum of Emerson regarding criticism; which, though he did not exclusively practice criticism himself in this way, is summarized by his biographer as, "Praise what you love." Therefore, everything that has made it to the list below, I highly recommend....

Note: the same restraint does not hold true in the Video Reviews!
