Book Reviews
February 16th, 2007
I once tried writing book reviews. It didn’t go well. I’ve contemplated doing it more, but I’m still a bit scared to dip my foot into the pool again. I feel I’m much wiser about it now than I was at the time. I was horrible. I think back, and I’m blushing. There are a few people who’ve seen that stuff. They know how bad it was.
And today I stumble upon a comforting meme. It wasn’t just me. People, as a whole, have been sucking it up at writing reviews. First I foundsome tips on writing a good review. Then I found this take down of TNR that deals with their book reviews. And my first link, Open University, has been, between contemplations of what modern antisemitism could be, talking quite a bit about the need for a new book review. I’m not going to link specific bits on that last one, half the recent posts relate. Sounds like a good idea to me. Just as long as I’m not writing the reviews, yet.
Or maybe ever.
