‘Literary criticism can be no more than a reasoned account of the feeling produced upon the critic by the book he is criticising.’ D. H. Lawrence

Just do it: I think a good guide is; write the outline of the book, what you personally got out of reading it and whether you think other people should try it.

‘While the US dollar may create an exorbitant privilege for certain American constituencies, this status creates an exorbitant burden for the US economy overall, especially for the vast majority of Americans who must pay for the corresponding trade deficits either with higher unemployment, more household debt, or greater fiscal deficits.’
