Something about the phrase "ramblings of a pathologically eclectic generalist" smacks of egotism to me, I dunno why but it just seems a turn-off. It feels like saying "I'm just deeply interesting, I can't help it, it's just who I am."
I hear it the opposite. Like an admission that they failed to focus on anything in particular and than their reviews may be pretty useless for that reason.
His best books section is quite interesting, because he's read about 1.6k books and there's only a couple on there, suggesting those are probably some high quality reads.
