Entry 1: Preview

Its taken me a while to figure out what I'm going to talk about on here, since I don't normally do this, but after reading other people's blogs and seeing how people are basically just writing about their interests, I guess I will do the same.

Which leads me to the topic that this blog will be about, which will be books. I read a lot, its my main hobby. Appropriately enough, I work at Barnes and Noble, specifically the one in Monroeville, Pennsylvania. It is a job that I really do enjoy, even though it doesn't really pay that much and dealing with customers is often less then pleasant, but I love working in a job where I have access to all sorts of books. I like organizing and alphabetizing the books and everything else. That probably sounds really nerdy, but its the truth.

I really enjoy reading for relaxation. I also read a wide variety of books. Regular fiction, science-fiction, mystery, and horror. I also read a lot of non-fiction as well, mostly nature and environment books, but also a lot of history. I also like a lot of the classics, and drama, as well as books about sociology, current affairs, and cultural studies. So as you can see I read a lot from a wide variety of areas.

So what I will be doing for this blog, is essentially providing a book review of the books that I am currently reading or just finished. I will talk about them and do the following: give a summary, description of the writing style, and what I thought about them. Then I will talk about the author and give my opinion as to their writing and some recommendations of other authors who are similar.

Hopefully some of you like to read as well and perhaps will be interested in reading this, and maybe you'll even decide to check out some of the books that I'll be talking about.
