Welcome to Animus Libri!

I plan to provide a series of useful book reviews as I mow through my endless queued book stack.

If I have spent the time to consume a book, I may be able to provide a few useful insights to others who may be thinking of buying the book. Alternatively, I may be able to alert people to books which they would otherwise be unaware of and that they may enjoy.

Books reviewed will be of a very diverse variety. I hope to be able to capture the spirit and soul of these books, at least sufficiently enough to help any readers decide if the book would be of interest to them. I'll also try hard not to spoil the storylines of any fiction or non-fiction story.

Below, you will find lists of books currently being actively read, bookmarked (partially read but currently not being actively consumed), and waiting to be read.

Beware of the person of one book.
Thomas Aquinas

I spent three days a week for 10 years educating myself in the public library, and it's better than college. People should educate themselves - you can get a complete education for no money. At the end of 10 years, I had read every book in the library and I'd written a thousand stories.
Ray Bradbury 

Unprovided with original learning, unformed in the habits of thinking, unskilled in the arts of composition, I resolved to write a book.
Edward Gibbon
