Book Summaries Listed 2

These are the books I have commented on so far, in alphabetical order, by author.  They are collected under the Book Summaries and Introductions section. I am still going through them, particularly to add questions, themes, and criticisms, so these critical summaries aren’t by any means finished (or the only ones I plan to do!). 

You will perhaps note that I don’t do ‘plot summaries’ – but if you want to read the book, and you wish to read it critically, too, then here is some info to support that:
