- For 2008, I'm trying to read a helluva lot more than I did last year. Thanks to working two jobs, I think I only squeezed in about a dozen complete books.
To add to my already over-ambitious list of 50+ books for the year, I want to try and add a poorly written review for each book I finish.
I'm going to evaluate what I read based on three criteria:
- the quality of the writing (* being your average self-help guru, ***** being Dostoyevsky)
- the entertainment/enlightenment value of the story [* being the average self-help book, ***** being The Brothers Karamazov]
- the reread-ability of the story.
Only those I perceive to be true classics will get the five-star treatment. There are plenty of books I love which I'll have to concede a three- or four-star rating due to technical or creative failings (Pamela Frankau's Wreath for the Enemy springs to mind immediately as one of these). - Informazione su di me
