Criticism: Ideas in Profile | Catherine Belsey
post image

“But if nothing is finally settled, three main issues have preoccupied traditional criticism: judgment, morality and intention. [. . . ] Judgment often goes hand-in-hand with an insistence on the ethical value of the work. Is the pleasure we find in fiction best seen as sugar on a moral pill? [. . . C]an we make sense of the work without knowing who wrote it or what the author had in mind?” (3-4)

The Silmarillion | John Ronald Reuel Tolkien

A perennial favorite. I particularly love this copy. I apparently got a hold of it as a teething baby (see above right). Even then I was trying to devour books. 😊❤️

Memoirs | Georg Solti, Harvey Sachs

An incredible account of a life in music. Solti has seen it all, from opera pita to great orchestras. His life is a "Who's Who" of great classical music.

I LOVED both Spark Joy and Life-Changing Magic. Instead of telling you, "You need X amount of stuff," or, "You must get rid of Y amount of stuff," Marie Kondo's method focuses on keeping the things that spark joy for you or bring joy into your life. If it brings you joy, then keep it. Period.
