"Reading should be a kind of enjoyment" allowed me to put down some immortal masterpieces that I was afraid of. "Skip reading and novel excerpts" allow me to enjoy fragmented reading with peace of mind. "What characteristics a good novel should have" gave me the confidence to say "no" to some award-winning works, and "About the Good and Bad of Best-Sellers" gave me more understanding and goodwill towards writers as a profession.
