Have you considered reviewing Bob Dylan lyrics?

Reagan Wiles

All suggetions are soft suggestions, feel no obligation, patronage not hinging on said suggestions. Awakenings is a book that I cannot recommend too highly. No less a poet than Auden lauded it as a masterpiece. It is of course by Oliver Sacks. Sacks is a footnote beast and slings names around like a lawnmower throws rocks. Uncle Tungsten suggested more reading to me than any single book other. I love books like that; most of my reading has been thus suggested, and art and artists by other artists...

Borges was truly beautiful, incredibly humble; in the essay writing how he would never put himself next to the poets he mentioned (Milton, Wilde, Homer etc.). I read it in Spanish, but from what you read the translation seems really accurate. great review boy!
