This is my second read of this book. I want to love it, and for a long way through, I do. Then it all falls apart in the third act. I'll likely read it again in a few years, after the specifics fade from my memories.

Great Basic Introduction to Category Theory

This is a great introduction to category theory for non-mathematicians. If you are a mathematician, you'll find an understanding of abstract algebra helpful, but ultimately unnecessary. I'll go grab a more technical introduction with more confidence now.

The narrator lacks humility. I just can't take his conversational “oh, I'm so clever” tone anymore.

This book has some wonderful prose. I really enjoyed it, despite flaws that other reviewers have mentioned. I can recommend it based on the language alone. Warning! This book contains graphic content and language, and is definitely NOT for children.

A short, but powerful story of a girl trapped in a cult by the foster system.

Great ideas, but as usual for PKD, the writing can't support the grandiosity of his vision.

Highly recommended if you have any authority at all to control how work is done at your job.

The stories were all okay, but nothing was particularly memorable. Not really recommended unless you need more GLBT fiction in your library, and even then: there are much better choices.
