I'm uncomfortable with rating books. Sure, it's a quick, easy way of expressing one's opinion. The problem with it, for me at least, is its finality.
How we rate a book-- our opinion of its worth--depends entirely on our mood, age, circumstances, and other factors that change like the weather and season. In fact, even these last can influence how we feel about books-- one might give "The Brothe... Read more of this blog post »

“One does not argue about The Wind in the Willows. The young man gives it to the girl with whom he is in love, and, if she does not like it, asks her to return his letters. The older man tries it on his nephew, and alters his will accordingly. The book is a test of character. We can't criticize it, because it is criticizing us. But I must give you one word of warning. When you sit down to it, don't be so ridiculous as to suppose that you are sitting in judgment on my taste, or on the art of Kenneth Grahame. You are merely sitting in judgment on yourself. You may be worthy: I don't know, But it is you who are on trial.”

“When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.”

“Motherfuckers will read a book that’s one third Elvish, but put two sentences in Spanish and they [white people] think we’re taking over.”
