Carolyn:
Mainly I put these under 'personal favourites', ie, reject them. I
only let them in if the reader's personal reaction leads to some
interesting new insights.
The problem I see with 'reader interpretations' is that *every* post
is reader interpretation ! How would we narrow down the definition?
However, I did wonder whether we should have a category (probably in
section 5) for published reviews of the books.
