You are so right. I'm already in trouble for my relatively low rating of Hamlet. I think I was just tired of reading lame student essays about it. I'll have to figure out how to change ratings. Hamlet is an excellent play. But if I give it 5 stars, I don't have room to rate Othello higher. Mood factors in, too. I read Bridget Jones' Diary one hot summer afternoon when I wanted distraction, and it hit the spot . . . but that doesn't mean it's as good as Othello.

I like the fact that you give so many stars to the books you review. As Man Ray once said: if you don't like something turn away. Go find something you do like.
My Good Reads advice, friend Sara: only read reviews of your favorite books (or your own books) after drinking. Why? Who can bear to hear a reader lament that Catcher in the Rye has no plot? Or that Antonya Price's books are fine, if you go for chick lit. Yikes.
