First Post!

What a pathetic title for my first post on this blog.

Even though I know probably no one will ever find it, I decided to make a new blog to write about the books I'm reading and what I think of them. I've always been a very fast reader, and although this has its positives (getting through lots of books very quickly), a big drawback is that I forget almost immediately not only what books I've read, but anything about the plot, characters, etc. This is OK much of the time, but once in awhile I want to actually talk to someone about a book I've read, and I can never remember enough of the details to sound remotely coherent or intelligent. It's also a pain when I'm reading books in a series, because by the time the next book comes out I've completely forgotten everything that happened in the last one.

Anyway, all of this is a long way of saying that I'm starting this blog to keep track of the books I've read, and a bit about what I've thought of them. I'll categorize the posts by genre, and I'll title the posts with the book titles so they should be relatively easy to track down later. I should also note that I am signed up as an Amazon Associate, which means if anyone actually clicks any of my links and decides to buy a book using the links, I'll get an infitessimally small payment/credit from Amazon...fair warning. I'll see how it works out and how well I do at keeping up with it...here goes!!
