Since I'm almost done with the first book I'll be reviewing, it occurs to me that I should try and give some kind of consistent form to each review. So, after discussing each book I will assign a letter grade (I'd hope that all of these books are going to get A's), whether or not the book would make my personal top 50 list (and yes, I realize that as I read more this should be theoretically more difficult to say about a book and yes I have a top 50 list already, and no I'm not posting it), and where the book ranks in comparison to other books I've reviewed. This might be difficult because it isn't just like comparing apples and oranges, it is like comparing apples, oranges, grapes and banannas. You might be able to compare The Stand to The Lord of the Rings, but how would you compare The Stand to Winnie-the-Pooh or Pride and Prejudice?
A few other things... I won't be reading only books on this list, so don't expect posts on a regular basis. I might decide to give up after a few books (has anyone seen how long Remembrance of Things Past is? Wow!). Comments are welcome. My wife and I won't be reading the books in the same order. And I do intend to re-read the books I had previously read. Hmm, I feel like I'm forgeting something...
