This post: remarkable, dynamic and enriching
I like this list of words used by book reviewers, and their real meanings. For example:
Imaginative: fiction reviewers use this to describe a book that they wish they had written; nonfiction reviewers use it to describe a book they do not believe.
Wears its scholarship lightly: author is not a real scholar. But I am.
I would add:
breathtaking: nothing happens in this book.
Via norm.

Your hair looks swish, by the way - have you done something new?
