I just got an Arthur Sze book at Borders. Looks like it could be a pleasant change of pace. I'll be blogging along to my reading of it over the next few days.

Reading Tony Tost's Invisible Bride on the plane to San Diego I noticed "book review guy" in my head coming up with certain bookreviewish-sounding phrases to use about it. It was distracting to have book review guy in my head when I was trying to read--like a premature reaction. I'd much rather have blogging guy in my head.

My strategy for reviewing is to perceive the book in as precise a way as possible rather than to praise or dispraise. The praise or dispraise, such as it is, should arise organically out of the perception.
