First Post

I'm cheap in an oxymoronicly extravagant way. I seldom buy hardbacks unless they are on sale at Barnes and Noble. I do, however, spend way too much on paperbacks. Of course that means that I'm always behind the curve.

A couple of years ago, a wise gentleman told me he writes an essay over every book he reads. Lately, there has been several Internet memes about books that have changed lives here and here. There's an older list here. There have also been summer reading memes here and here. I know each meme recycles.

Anyway, it seems like a good idea to write a short entry about each paperback I finish. If nothing else, it should keep me on track as I try to read a variety of fiction and non-fiction
