I realized in high school that I was different than my friends. I didn't know anyone else that would gladly stay up all night because they just couldn't stand to but the book down. While everyone else carried a walkman, I wouldn't leave the house without at least one book in my pocket (I was wearing cargo pants long before Old Navy showed up). Now I am the first to admit to a lack of "sophistication" in what I read. It has only been recently that I have learned how to leave a book unfinished if I thought it wasn't worth reading. My taste runs from Judith Martin to Orson Scott Card and back again.
Of course it isn't just books. As the blog title indicates I will read just about anything I get my hands on: Cereal boxes, bumper stickers, fine print, celebrity magazines. In fact, the only line I haven't crossed is software ULAs.
The purpose of this blog is to track in some sharable format the books I read and my impressions of those books. Most likely this site will be visited only by friends and family. A part of me hopes, however, that others will find this site and list the books they are reading. I can always use a good recommendation to feed my addiction.
