What if every book was worth reading? Not just the books with silver medallions on their covers, but every hardcover featured at Barnes & Noble, every paperback foisted upon you by a friend or a relative or even a stranger-what if they were all pretty good? That's the sense one gets from Book Marks, a new "Rotten Tomatoes for Books" launched Tuesday by the literary culture site Lit Hub. Unlike Rotten Tomatoes, which determines if a review is "fresh" (red tomato) or "rotten" (splattered green tomato) and assigns a percentage score, Lit Hub uses an A-F grading system. But none of the books are remotely in danger of flunking.
