Actually, I'm surprised to hear that you consider your reviews litcrit. The underlying goal of litcrit usually seems more to be to show how clever the critic is, being able to do something like that, than it is to try to find some wisdom about the human condition. Litcrit to me is the exercise of intelligence without meaning or wisdom; the exercise of judgment without significance. It's scholarly litcrit that celebrates unreadable stuff like Thomas Pynchon's Mason & Dixon. Your thinking and writing about books doesn't strike me as being like that at all.
