Or: Books which are gonna make me really irritating in Torah study for a bit.

I read substantial portions of this out loud to my wife on a drive, which is how you know it’s either very good or very bad. In this case very good.

I have some quibbles with what he chose to cite, it felt very much like xkcd’s quartz where he cited things that he felt weren’t common knowledge but, of course, his idea of common knowledge is leagues away from what it actually is.

It’s also a book with An Argument It’s Making, which is fine and he makes that super clear, but I’m not well read enough to know what the opposition is–if there is one, I read the ‘97 edition and that may be academic consensus by now.
