why don't you try writing an essay about the last book you read instead of marking it off of a list like a chore? is it because you never retain any of what you read? do you even remember the themes of the last two books you read? make something of yourself

What do yall think of the new layout? Sometimes it looks good but most of the time it looks like a mess.

That's what reviewing helps facilitate, you start to get in that analytical mindset. Unfortunately a lot of anons don't ever review cause of insecurity or laziness or whatever excuse it is.

Well the criteria for recommendation is based on your taste. So perhaps you yourself read "inferior quality lit".
