I used to read all the time. Over the past couple of years, the number of books I read per year has plummeted...so I am trying to pick and read a little more; and not just easy kids books. (Even though, granted, I do do that--but it's one way to re-introduced yourself to the joy of books by re-reading the books that thrilled you as a kid.)
Thus, this nagging wish to begin reading again--and not just fiction, though it must be admitted that most of my reading gets done in the evenings and I prefer 'softer' stuff at that hour to meaty stuff. Anyway, I thought I'd start a page for my book list, since I seem to constantly misplace the notebook I keep for the purpose. (I will attempt to get around to doing reviews on at least some of them over on Reformed Reviews at some point. When I do, I will link the review to the book's title.)
