Welcome...

I decided I want a place to write freely. But then I couldn't decide what to write about. I am not necessarily an 'expert' in anything, so why would anybody want to read what I had to say about politics, the environment, or science? Not that I assume anyone will even be reading this blog; it is more for my own benefit than for other people's enjoyment.

I finally realized I can write about what I truly love to do (and have loved to do since my days following The Babysitter's Club): READING BOOKS! Reading IS something I am somewhat of an expert in. I have loved reading books since I was very young. During college and graduate school I was forced to read all kinds of books for school, which kind of took the fun out of reading in that I had no flexibility -- I HAD to read the books on the syllabus.

It was only when I finished graduate school did I really resume my love affair with reading. I have been trying to trade off novels and what I call "smart books" -- really just fiction and non-fiction. (I find myself doubling up on the nonfiction books in between novels.)

In this blog I will write about the books I am reading and which parts I am finding the most interesting. Please note: there will be spoilers as I mentioned this blog is more for me to have a place to write for myself and to keep track of all the books I read.

Thanks and enjoy!
