Your no review is a review anyway.

Thanks, Vit. I simply can't shelve a book on gr without adding a few words even if only vague impressions linger because I'm addicted to having all my 'read' books listed as 'reviewed' :-)And since I just read a new Banville book, I thought I'd create a Banville shelf though I read quite a few of his books pre-goodreads.
I sometimes dream of adding all the books I can remember reading, with a brief review for each title. But then I think of the precious reading time that would be wasted if I did that...
This book blew me away. Loved it.
Stephen wrote: "This book blew me away. Loved it."And you took the time to write a fine review of it, Stephen—which tempted me to maybe reread the book and record my thoughts about it more clearly.
Whether 'tis better to suffer the slings and arrows of memory loss in silence or generate a massive public pout from being deprived of a Fionnuala review, that is the question.
Hope you're bobbing along merrily in Banville's sea of troubles, Justin.
Oh, yessssssss. What a great story.
