Be on the Look Out For a Books Page

Today, finding information is really easy. Look no further than this very blog. The internet has made it extremely helpful for anyone to write what they want. To see this, go to any Wikipedie article--the authors are usually anonymous. Then, there are those who blog about books. Usually, these guys tell you what books to read and badly at that. They will have a bias toward whatever they are reading. For that, I want to make a page, one where I will review books. In history, the historian is forced to look up the information if the author, where they studied, and who they studied with. Because of this, historians are pretty good at finding an author's argument, their stance, and how they reason. Historians are trained to think critically, meaning they use reasoning to figure things out--they are objective. Most people are afraid of being objective, after weren't the philosophies (a French word for really smart philosophers of the Enlightenment) Objective, which led them to be atheists? Well, no. They were very objective, but it was because they had to be. Because they were objective in thinking, they gave us things like almanacs, dictionaries, and encyclopedias. Because of their objectivities, we are able to think for ourselves today. That is the goal of my book review page. I will help give you skills needed to think for yourself when reading a non-fiction book. You will learn how to reason and analyze the material in front of you. So, be on the look out for a book review page.
