Just wanted to say I always enjoy your newsletters. I share your aversion to overly-hyped books, but I'm also curious to know what some trusted reviewers have to say about new releases and about re-discovering older books. When the media heats up fast and becomes overwhelming, I have to wait (sometimes a long time) to plunge into the book(s). Thanks for your frank insights.
