The Gestalt Real-Time Reviews of Books 
Dear Mr. Lewis: Always a lurker, reading your reviews of my favourite authors Ligotti and Aickman, I thought I’d make an exception to alert you a book about the history of intention in, and interpretation of, literature (you always mentioning the intentional fallacy). It can be downloaded for free (pdf file).
