- aerovistae 4y agoSomething about the phrase "ramblings of a pathologically eclectic generalist" smacks of egotism to me, I dunno why but it just seems a turn-off. It feels like saying "I'm just deeply interesting, I can't help it, it's just who I am."
- stevage 4y agoI hear it the opposite. Like an admission that they failed to focus on anything in particular and than their reviews may be pretty useless for that reason.
- vagrantJin 4y agoInteresting. Would you say we all need to be single minded specialists/experts?
- iostream24 4y agoFunny, I feel the same way about your comment.

- DantesKite 4y agoHis best books section is quite interesting, because he's read about 1.6k books and there's only a couple on there, suggesting those are probably some high quality reads. https://dannyreviews.com/mypubs.html#nonfiction https://dannyreviews.com/mypubs.html#nonfiction I'm also struck by the quality of his writing. These are some short and light reviews. Very thoughtful.
