Last Update: January 1, 2001
On this page, I have links to some of the best messages I've received
in response to this page, including many very long letters with lots
of excellent ideas for future reading. I've individually linked the
letters I liked the most and placed the rest of the feedback into
another file so you can see everything if you like. The large file
of small letters is filled with lots of letters with single-book
recommendations and is definitely worth reading.
I haven't gotten
much email about this page in the last year or two, mainly because the
site administrators at TCU move my hierarchies around so much they
are probably virtually impossible to find now. However, when I get
enough letters collected for another decent-sized batch, I will update
this page again. I've gotten so many recommendations over the years
that this page accomplished its original purpose in spades, but I always
welcome correspondence.
The letters are in text format rather than HTML. When appropriate,
I have summarized my response to the letter by quoting myself on
lines prefaced by "##". Please contact me if you would like your
letter to be left off of this page. Individual letters are listed
in order of date received.
If you're writing largely to disagree with one or more of my opinions,
and particularly if you are very angry about something I've written,
please consider the following first.

* - Mail I received between the dates of April 14 and July 29, 1998
was lost in a strange incident in which I accidentally deleted a
file and then didn't realize it until I much later, after I had
sufficiently written enough new files to a backup drive that I
could no longer even recover the deleted file! My sincere
apologies to those who wrote letters during that time.
