I never though...I love the two parts you shared ... I never thought about guest room books but now I'm going to. (Though all my guests tend to bring their own reads and are highly opinionated ... being my family and all).<br /><br />And I think I'm a passive reviewer ... I always doubt myself when I don't "get" a book or think I'm missing something if I don't like a book others did. But I think I've grown more confident in myself since I started book blogging. The point is that you either like a book or you don't ... and I should be able to trust my own feelings about whether I like a book or not. But I certainly don't think I know it all ... just what I like!<br /><br />I might have to check this out.Jennershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08044537551139633301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-25913049348330377682009-12-31T15:47:03.720-06:002009-12-31T15:47:03.720-06:00Doesn't sound like something I would have pick...Doesn't sound like something I would have picked up, so thanks for the review. I don't have a dedicated guest room, either, but was given the idea of making a basket of handy items to put out for guests (toothbrush/paste, kleenex, etc) It would be fun to include a couple books. Thanks for the ideas.<br /><br />Hope you have a great New Year.Tamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16094928747500699123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-24512400752611033872009-12-31T13:43:27.106-06:002009-12-31T13:43:27.106-06:00Nice review.

I like you...This book seems very thought provoking. I like your analysis of it. I find I am the critic who wishes to be absorbed by a book rather than the other way around. This reminds me of another book you recommended and I just got from the library - The Seven Basic Plots. I've just started it but it looks very interesting. I, too, like books about books.Margothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07422981969760935118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-67171489326991714312009-12-31T10:25:36.031-06:002009-12-31T10:25:36.031-06:00I've discovered a few books the same way.
