Hello.

I created this on a whim.

I'll be layed up this summer for a good part so I have decided to make myself read.

Okay, it's not like it's torture to make me read - I love reading - but when it's summer and there's a tv in your room when there normally isn't and you have a short attention span because of the Darvaset you tend to not have so much interest in a nonfictional book.

Right now I'm trying to make myself read a book about Sargeant York, who is in fact and distant cousin of mine, but I'm having a rum time of it.

But! I've read a couple books earlier this summer so I think I shall begin with those.

OH! I missed a pivotal plot point! Because of the aforementioned 'being layed up this summer', I decided to embark on a reading list I downloaded off collegeboard.com. The list is entitled One Hundred Books You Should Read Before College. To be honest, they aren't the best or the most classic books, but they are intended to give the reader a fair sampling of major books and authors before college. OF COURSE no one is going to read the whole list before college.

But I decided to try to get to 50 before the end of the summer.

Right now, I'm at 25. And I don't even read purely 'list books'.

Whew. It's gonna be a long summer.

So on this site I'll be posting synopsis (kind of) and themes and symbols and possibly quotes and probably ratings of the books I read. Wow. That took me a while to get to the point.
