And I honestly do not feel it would be accepted here. Not without some ass or three cutting half way in and ruining whatever discussion there was with "omigod why did you waste your time with this book?" and then proceeding to demean everything that's been discussed.
I know not everyone is like that...but there are enough people who are that I really don't feel like bothering.

If anything, most people around here are too apathetic to say anything about most any book reviewed. Get it right!

Well, by that standard a Jackie Collins novel is worthy of debate.

Ooh...I'd love to hear them!!! What did Eco say to trash Dumas? *NM*

I love it. Strangely enough, though, he wrote an introduction to the book.

Not really strange as Eco has long been fascinated by this book

Did he mention it in his book on ugliness?

Ah, yes. The Apocolocyntosis. Possibly the least amusing humor ever penned. I hate Seneca. *NM*

If it is well-written and defends the value of the book, I don't see why you shouldn't post it.
