Excellent. An admittedly provocative title, the book packs a punch for those who believe in healthy empathy and desire to escape the progressive gaze, or what Harold Bloom called “The School of Resentment,� and lean into compassion. ]]> Review7446227327 Sat, 29 Mar 2025 19:09:56 -0700 <![CDATA[Jon added 'Politics On the Edge: A Memoir From Within']]> /review/show/7446227327 Politics On the Edge by Rory Stewart Jon gave 1 star to Politics On the Edge: A Memoir From Within (Kindle Edition) by Rory Stewart

After reading it the second time, I love it more. I read this special first edition re-issue that Harpers put out to celebrate the original book’s illustrator. The plates and text type do not disappoint. And now I want first editions of all 7. It is more fun to read in the original type setting than the new ones are. ]]> Review1306776883 Tue, 11 Mar 2025 09:55:36 -0700 <![CDATA[Jon added 'The Magician’s Nephew']]> /review/show/1306776883 The Magician’s Nephew by C.S.
