Prologue

I have been a reader all my life.

I am a writer, too, but that is and always will be secondary to my reading.

 I try to be a better writer, but I wonder perhaps if I am just a reader, writing about books and the relationships I have with them.  That seems to be the case, despite all my leanings and pushings to the opposite.

I've tried blogging before about books, and while the experience was fun, I am glad that the task I had set before myself is done. This time around, I'd like to be more casual.
But: You can check out my previous blogging adventure here. This is the saga of my documenting how many books I read between April 1, 2011, and April 2, 2012, and the trials therein.

Perhaps you too are a reader, or even a writer. Perhaps you are neither, living vicariously through my life in pages. Whoever or whatever you are, you are welcome here.
