In the Beginning...

For a long time, I've kept track of all the books I've read--at least by title with occasional somewhat cryptic marks to remind myself if I liked the book, hated the book or read it for a book club. At the end of 2007 I realized I had managed to read 54 books. Math is not my specialty, but even I realized that meant more than 1 book a week. Yes, I count the graphic novels (if it takes more than one sitting to read them) and the occasional young adult novel, but I don't count the books I read to my kids. I read a lot and I like to think I read widely, but sometimes just listing the title isn't enough and I want to say more. And so, this blog.
