Weblog

I found this to be an enjoyable  little exercise.  I really liked the comments feature that this site offered.  Granted, Amazon.com has the same feature, but this site has more of a  community feel to it   (This is probably because Amazon is a commercially driven site, whereas this one is strictly for book lovers, who want to share their favorites) When choosing books to put on my list I noticed that High School really turned me off to reading:  The reading against deadlines, the test taking in conjuction with, the 10 page paper about…these aspects totally turned me off to pretty much all of the “classics” I read in high school.  Only The Great Gatsby is exempt and that is largely due to the fact that, my class listened to a book on tape of Gatsby in simply talked about the novel.  No tests, no papers, simply reading (or in this case listening) to a book, for the sole purpose of reading and enjoying it.
