Comment on Science Fiction Books I’ve Read (2018)

Comments

The best books are bolded, the great ones are underlined, and my absolute favorites are in red.

What does that even mean? What's the cutoff for best and great and favorite?

Does anyone else find the language over the top? Like we've watered down our superlatives.

Maybe I'm being super picky, but why make a numbered list of the best things across a spectrum of their greatness and not use the numbers?

I understand what he means. He’s sorted alphabetically by author. Then has two categories. He probably doesn’t want to compare books beyond that. Their either okay, great, or his absolute favourite.
