these are not objective reviews of the texts named. they are personal responses, and as such reflect only the entirely subjective views of the author.
of course, "litblog" is a combination of "literature" and "weblog" - this is the literary weblog.
you will find reponses here for almost every book and short story i have read since february 2002 (and a few others besides). however, i only respond to poetry or films if they move me emotionally or intellectually. read, enjoy, email.
