Hello! I am Elliott and I am 34. I saw you in the add me community. I share your passion for literature, although I would say I am more interested in contemporary novels. I am trying to diversify my reading list this year so I added Anna Karenina to my "to-read" list. I digress; will you add me?

Hi Elliott. Yes, of course: added. It's so good to meet others who have a passion for literature and who, evidently, also regard writing as a craft. It will be good to read your posts and hopefully mine will also be interesting to you.

this is the first time I've read something on your blog but I'm glad I did! I enjoyed your short reviews on Tolstoy and Sontag's writings! I can't wait to read more of your stuff!

Thank you! It's hard to say what I love more: cultural criticism or cultural works themselves. Somedays I appreciate getting lost in the lifeworld of a novel, and on other days I find critical essays about novels beautiful, just as good or better than the work they are evaluating. So, Sontag and Tolstoy are indicative of these literary and critical tendencies.
