we had friends categorize our reading likes/dislikes? Or categorize ourselves? For example, I'd say I'm a Satire/Historical Fiction/Classics/Non-fiction/Beat-gen Lit, and that I'm moderately-well-read-but-nothing-like-Camilla.



those terms need to be clearly defined, and really doesn't say much. So you like historical fiction. that statement includes nothing about the quality of writing, it hardly says anything about what type of literature it is at all... is it about the 70's or 3000 BC egypt? a vengeance story like the count of monte cristo or exploring the dark jungles of the african continent? Or is it from your youth, like children's books (The T-Rex and the Brontosaurus)? I hate to say it, but you cannot narrow it down like that... Now, we know each other somewhat at this site, and most people are prepared to take a chance on some reviews. However, look at Jacob's or Larry's reviews... they have done so many reviews over the years that I can take a look at them, see what they thought about specific issues, and realise that "I don't agree with them on this point, so them hating that part is not necessarily a negative".


and the sad part is that I had to go back after writing this and edit in the things about your age. I almost forgot.

I don't really see reviews as something to be discussed - 13/10/2009 01:21:02 AM 1010 Views
