Book Reviews

I never know what to read.

I go to the bookstore and I stare.  Does an interesting title warrant $14, probably not.

I walk up and down the library aisles glancing over book spines.  I never read any of the titles, I just look at all of the colors.  There’s just too many.  It’s like finding a Reese’s Piece in a bucket of M&Ms.

What am I supposed to be doing exactly, picking up each one book and reading the back?  I don’t have time or patience (OK, mostly patience) for that.

I generally only read things that I can look up or things that someone has suggested to me.

In honesty, I only read about six different authors because I remember their last name and can peruse their particular alphabetical section.

I could read book reviews, but those are generally only for new, expensive books.

Oprah’s book club has been a consistent disappointment for me.  After The Sound and the Fury and A Million Little Pieces I patently avoid anything with her sticker.

So I thought I would write a common man’s review with suggestions for reading.  Not new books, not outstanding books, just books that I stumbled upon that are worth ordering off of Amazon for $1 or looking for at the local library.

I would present one now, but I have to write it first.

You can find these under the category “Books”.

Now I gotta ‘nother suggestion for you and anyone else who loves books AND love adventure!
Please check out the web site http://www.bookcrossing.com/

THIS IS NOT THAT CHRISTIAN BOOKCLUB.

The short of it is
that if ya don’t have the space to hold alotta of books, then release your books for other to read
PLUS
OR you don’t have the foldbacks to buy a book, you go on-line to see where and what you can “catch."… a book that someone has “ released.”.... anywhere in the world!!!
I gots more to say but
go on now n take a look at this website
and tell me if that isn’t a spiffy idea!

I’ll check it out, but only because you used the term “foldbacks”.
