My First Post

I recently realized that because of my habit of going to used book sales at every opportunity (and because relatives often give me their old books) I have a lot of books on my shelf that I have never read. I've decided that I'm going to try to read them all, hopefully many of them by the end of summer. Since I generally want to talk/rant about books after I'm done with them, and since most people don't want to listen to that, I decided to review them on here when I finished (I have no illusions about whether or not anyone will actually read this, I just wanted a place to express my thoughts about these books and dislike the idea of keeping a paper journal). So enjoy, and please feel free to comment either on the reviews themselves or with suggestions of other books. Here's the list of books I'm starting with, and more will likely be added (current count is 52/175 read):
