Matt

I enjoyed your post. thanks for taking the time

>Matt:
>We can distinguish between liking a text and thinking it good.  But
doing so will be one more view set forth by an individual.  For instance,
Harold Bloom has done so on occasion to >enunciate why he doesn't enjoy
one particular poet but isn't about deny the poet's place in the Western
canon.  All we have to do to get a distinction like that is to
distinguish liking a text >for highly idiosyncratic reasons and placing
it in high esteem because of its originality.

let me complicate your above post with the following question.

Does a First Edition, autographed copy of a literary work have more
quality than a 30th printing paperback edition?
How does a first edition book possess more quality than the later paper
back? Are there two qualities to the book, one the spiritual ( content )
and the other the physical?
