A note on reviews

I was thinking the other day about my habit of posting book reviews. To the casual observer, it might seem that I like everything I read. This isn’t strictly true. I generally review books here only if they were particularly good (Barry Eisler), particularly bad (Eric Nylund), or interesting for some other reason. There are sooo many other places to read book reviews that I don’t want to waste time reviewing the mediocre (William Lashner’s The Shadow Falls) books that I often end up with. Of course, I’m fairly selective about what I’ll read in the first place, so perhaps that has something to do with it.
