Book Reviews & Notes
The solution?
The concept of a blog bundled with a rolling release. As this is a wiki, he can just augment reviews as he reads more and more.
viKid currently owns an estimated 2000 books of which he has made in each a varying amount of progress. As you can imagine, commenting and reviewing each of them is probably a lifetime's work. He shall do his best now to get as far as he can. It is hard to be a Superhero sometimes.
