Welcome to our Blog!

Our lovable little blog here is inspired by the great Samuel Clemens, who once opined that "A classic is something everyone wants to have read, but nobody wants to read." Well, Mark, we feel the same way. So here on Great Opinations, we discuss books that we desperately want to imbibe - books that look and "sound" great - though we can't bring ourselves to actually sacrifice the time for reading and contemplating that we might otherwise spend on Facebook or Gmail chat.

Recent problem solving with regards to this "ultimate quagmire" brought us to a point in which we realized that we could pool what we know - or, "let's be honest", what we think we know, which is good enough - about a given book, thereby giving us just enough verbal fodder to make it through dress-to-impress conversations and blind dates.

And then we got really creative.

Loving ourselves and our ideas, we continued to opine over the limitless extensions of such a blogspot. We feel that we owe it to our readers to opine on more than just books. You, Reader, want our opinations on music theory, world history, art, the U.S. government, Russia, and profound celebrity statements just as much as on literature, we know. So we'll do that. We'll also let you have "C" access to strictly "A and B" gmail chats.

We welcome your thinking, but reserve the right to edit it.

The bottom line is that we want you to be up on things, too.

(You're welcome.)
