This is the first in a few posts of just lists. Blogger's restrictions on the amount of characters I can have in my labels is frustrating beyond belief, so instead of putting in, say 'Novel 100' or 'Aurora Winner' in the labels, I'll just put that at the end of each post with a link to the correct list, and the list will of course link back to the books as I read them. More work? Yes. Am I crazy enough to kind of love it? Absolutely.
Before the list, I will say I highly recommend this book for anyone who loves having this kind of thing in their collection. Burt, like any good literary critic, is highly opinionated, and isn't going to sugar coat his opinions just in case someone doesn't agree. If you don't agree, write your own damn paper.
