The few, the proud

This blog exists for the express purpose of providing a forum for people (okay, my friends) to do mini opinion reviews of books they read. According to an article I found (http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2004/07/09/survey_finds_drop_in_reading_rates/) 42.8 percent of 18-34 year-olds read a book in the last year. This blog is not designed to solve this problem. This blog does not bemoan the state of our culture. This blog is not written by Harold Bloom. I just needed a name. So when you read a book, write a few paragraphs about it. We won't save the culture or reading, but we will get good ideas for books to read. Because as members of the 42.8 percent, that's what we do.
