Aren't all these '10 Greatest Novels' lists actually 'My Personal Favourite Novels' lists? Can there be a definitive and subjective 'greatest novel' when the purpose of literature is to touch personally?

Reading 'Blood Meridian' is better in 31 degree heat. Starting to think books should come with a recommended temperature e.g. 'Frankenstein' at -2. #booktwt

Same problem here with Cormac McCarthy - six similes in ten sentences, imagery that seems nonsensical, words like 'incandescent'. And he once used an em dash.

This is from a book by Nietzsche, a pretty famous philosopher. Very disappointing to say the least.

there was something beautiful about library checkout cards because you could literally see the history of human curiosity attached to a book. like a tiny ghost trail of strangers connected by the same story.

Keeping your headphones and book at home because you work from home is the modern equivalent of leaving your sword at home in medieval times.
