About

I have never kept records of my reading - I do not know how many books that I read last year and I think it will be personally beneficial to keep this record.  I tend to read non-fiction and academic works, usually in Theology, Philosophy or Science. 


Belle-Lettres is literally 'Fine/beautiful writing' and covers artistic and aesthetically beautiful literature.  However, its meaning has expanded and it often refers to a class or category of literature.  In more recent times it has taken on a narrower meaning - it refers to: 

'...light and elegant literature, especially that which is excessively refined, characterised by aestheticism, and minor in subject,substance, or scope.'


Hence, I am Insufficiently belletristic; both in what I read, and in what I write.
