Somewhere in Eastern Washington |
This blog is an attempt to infuse intentionality into my experience as a reader, and to share this important part of my life with others. I've been a voracious reader for over 20 years. It is high time to lay down some literary roots.
Every day, I try to carve out time to read so as to slowly chip away at my ever-growing list of books to read or to re-read. When I travel, one of the first places I try to find is the local, independent bookstore. As I walk home from work these days, right past the public library, I have to stop myself from visiting each day and checking out more books than I could possibly read in a three week period (3 times a week maximum)!
My love for books is only equaled by my appreciation for chocolate, Argentina, Otis Redding, and a handful of human beings (and one mischievous cat). Reading has been one of the cornerstones of my life, and has altered and shaped my very foundation. Through this medium, I have caught glimpses of life in times or realms I never thought I would see, and I've been privy to the inner lives and emotions of some haunting and unforgettable fictional characters and real people I haven't been fortunate (or unfortunate) enough to meet.
I look forward, via this blog, to sharing my ruminations, recommendations, and resources about all things literary. I await your comments and ideas.
