What is this?

Excellent question. This is a blog by a bookish person for the use (and strange enjoyment) of other bookish folk. It will be my reading journal for a six month period. At the end I'll have a better idea of what I'm feeding myself and where I want to spend more time. Also it will give me a place to write about the ideas that tug at my fancy. Finding a glorious thought in a book and then losing it before the last page is sad. Here I will stockpile the fabulous things I learned while hermited away with bound paper. The best way to hook into an idea is to explain it, yes?

Finally, this blog happens to be a list item (number six) from my 101 in 1001 undertaking. I don't know. It sounded like it could be fun and not a hideous waste of time. For me, that is. Come and go as you will. Comment at your leisure and only by inclination. If I love anything better than reading, it is mulling over what I have read with someone who has something to say. Be welcome, fellow readers!
