Entertainment Weekly’s 100 “new classics”

Entertainment Weekly has taken up the task of selecting the best “new classic” books of the last 25 years. While I’m hesitant of the reliablity of a periodical that names Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire as #2 (please, Prisoner of Azkaban was far surperior) and one that considers The Da Vinci Code (please, Angels and Demons was far surperior) as a classic. I’d rather get my “new classics” from a source that doesn’t use book reviews to fill up the space between advertisments for TV shows.

Either way, check it out here.

Since January 2008 I have been using this blog to write about the books i've read and other book related news that I find interesting. I also find pirates interesting so from time to time I may blog about pirates. I see this as killing two birds with one stone.

Review Policy
Dear Publishers/Authors,

I am always willing to discuss reviewing you book on my blog. Discovering new authors is one of the things I love about book blogging. However, I do not accept all books for review. If it's not in my usual genre chances are I am going to decline the offer.

A couple of genres I dislike are: Self-Help, YA Paranormal, Hardcore Science-Fiction, and Depressing Memoirs.

Some genres I really enjoy: Pirates, Satire, Pulp Fiction, Queer Fiction, YA Fiction (Non-Paranormal and Non-Gossip Girl-esq) and Comical Memoirs.

Here's the thing. If you e-mail me asking me to review a book, I will always respond and let you know if I am interested or not. If you don't hear back from me, feel free to send a follow-up e-mail. No longer will I just ignore your e-mail.

-Colin Matthew
