And so I begin . . .


What makes a book good? What fusion of ideas and sentences transforms average works into classics that demand to be read over and over again? I must admit that I am no professional literary critic; however, it is never too late or early to try to become one. Throughout this blog I will read some of the greater literary pieces and then try dissect and analyze their juicy guts out. From the streets of Dickens' London to the Mines of Moria, I will not stop in my quest to find what makes an average book a great book. And so I begin my experiments in criticism.

P.S. (To you the reader) Thank you for reading my first blog entry! Please feel free to leave comments, suggestions, or critiques! Book suggestions are always welcome; I am always on the lookout for another good book.
