> it is my favourite book

Is it your favourite book because of how much your personal history is tied to it, and the time you deboted to it, or are you comparing it against other books based on an analytic review and comparison of several books that you did at some point?

Nothing wrong with the former case, I also have favourites that I recommend, but if it’s the latter the recommendation is more helpful; in that case it would be awesome to detail why this one over others.

This idea of compared review is useful here:

This is a very good post and I agree with your comments.

The book for me was partly great because of its contents and partly because I worked through every problem and realized how much it taught me. I should do a more factual write up on why it’s a great book, I’ll try to when I get some time.
