Thank you! Writing these reviews forces me to articulate clearly the lessons I'm learning from the books; and it also motivates me to look very closely at both the positions discussed and some fine points of Japanese grammar, so that I don't insert my own misunderstandings into the mouths of the authors.

I still have a bunch of books left before I get to the ones that seem too hard for me; but maybe by then they won't seem so hard anymore.
