I recommend
The library has a box labeled Awesome Books. If you've read a library book that you believe is awesome you simply deposit it in the box. One of the librarians adds the name of the book to a list of other designated awesome books.
The book remains in the box until it is added to the master list and there it waits for the next patron.
Imagine dismissing the critics, book reviewers of prestigious newspapers, and relying on ordinary readers.
It's a conundrum. I rely upon the pundits to steer me in the direction of a well written book. Here no words are exchanged. No words written extolling a book. Nothing. No one compares the writing to previous icons of the written word.
And what of taste? And what of elitism?
