Last night's final post was a miniature review - of a short story by Susan McCallum-Smith. The thought occurred to me recently that, since this is a blog, and since I am retired, I am free to pretty much do whatever the hell I like. And so I have decided, from time to time, to discuss what I am reading - as I read it. I will probably write about each of the stories in McCallum-Smith's collection as I read them. I may even write about whatever classics I may be re-reading So be forewarned: This book blog is going to have a lot more about the books I happen to be reading, which may not be books that anybody else is reviewing or that are on anybody's best-seller list. Reading, after all, is a very personal matter.
A personal matter, indeed, albeit one that so many of us feel obliged to take public (knowing, all the while, that our thoughts will probably be misunderstood).

Welcome to the writing-about-what-I'm-reading club, Frank. Always happy to have a new member!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, Frank. Looking forward to those posts.
ReplyDeleteAs you'd expect, I say it sounds like a good idea to me. Also, my exposure to book reviews has dropped a lot recently and I miss that. You mention some stuff I'd never notice otherwise - a recent entry about a Charlemagne book peaked my interest.
ReplyDeleteJames: Jeff Sypeck's Becoming Charkemagne. I loved it.
