So, how do you know when you're reading a good book?
If it can tickle your interest.
If it can make you think.
If it can give you a rush of emotions.
“The best moments in reading are when you come across something - a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things - which you had thought special and particular to you. And now, here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out, and taken yours”
― Alan Bennett, The History Boys
