Welcome to my book blog. You may be the only person to have ever seen it! Since tortoises are slow afoot, we have plenty of time to read and think. I read mostly contemporary and literary fiction (if there's a difference), with as many classics as I can slip in between. Occasionally I'll venture into other realms such as popular fiction (including YA), nonfiction (especially books about books), and poetry. Lately I've been trying to branch out into lesser known or forgotten books by lesser known or forgotten authors. At the moment I'm thinking of authors like Muriel Spark, Bill Knott, Hubert Selby, Jr., and William Kotzwinkle, and hope to track down some others. I'm also trying to read and review a lot more poetry, which will be crazy eclectic. Some of my favorite authors are Donna Tartt, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Shirley Jackson, and Haruki Murakami. My reviews are as short as I can make them, with only a mini-summary (since I'm not doing a high school book report!), without too much literary fluff, and my main focus being to tell you my impression of the book and share my enthusiasm. Hope you enjoy!
