"Reviewing books is something like that. You pick a book out of the pile 
long before the bulk of reviews come out (Is it any good? Hey, you're the 
one who's supposed to tell everyone else) and hope you'll discover something 
of worth. In this painstaking process, one thing is nearly certain: You'll 
hit fool's gold more often than not. " ...

"And maybe it would have been pure gold, but, alas, I didn't quite work up 
the stamina to tackle Thomas Pynchon's 1,000-plus page opus Against the Day. 
Let's face it: I'd have to build up my biceps first - and who has time with 
the holidays so fast approaching?"
