Book Review: The Waste Land by T.S. Eliot

The Waste Land and Other Poems The Waste Land and Other Poems by T.S. Eliot


My rating: 2 of 5 stars
While I have been told that my own writing is pretentious, I can't say that I love reading anything that is purposefully esoteric and pretentious. I sort-of enjoyed my trip down memory lane, recalling my studies of Greek, Roman and Shakespearean literature. But I think, at this point in my life, I'm more attracted to literature that welcomes, not isolates. I should have read this ten years ago - I would have appreciated it more then. Who knows what the future has in store, though. I'll revisit T.S. Eliot sometime to come and see how I've changed.
