Here are some things I've read so far this month or will be reading soon. A lot of people are staying at home looking for things to read, so I've broken this month into two parts again, expect a post on February 29. Also, just because I post something here does not mean I agree with it, it simply means it made me think and I think my readers might enjoy it.

Some things I've read so far in the second half of this month, or will be reading soon.

Also, just because I share something on here does not mean I agree with it, but I think opposing ideas are good for the mind on occasion.
