This is it, the first post in a long term writing project. I warn you all, this is my first attempt at writing a blog; my first attempt, really, of keeping track of anything I read and writing about every single book.
This all started with a challenge from one of my coworkers at the small, independent bookstore where we work: to read 100 books in a year. It is a challenge that I gleefully accepted. 100 books in a year doesn't seem so hard. I then made the mistake of doing the math, and it breaks down to 8.3 books a month, a book every 3.5 days. Which is fine if you don't have other things to do, like work and family and all of those other important things. I'm a weird breed of special, so you know what: Bring it on!
That being said, I don't want to just rush through the books I read. I want to experience them and think about them and understand them. So, I will embrace technology and try to communicate (with somebody, I hope) about the books that will read. If you do find your way to this blog, please feel free to comment and suggest books and other such things.
This year I will be reading a smattering of things: fiction, non-fiction, sci-fi, travel adventure, natural sciences. No book is off-limits.
And so it begins!
Happy reading!
