The Introduction (or Why this Blog Exists)

I have always been somewhat of an avid reader to many people's surprise.  I wanted to start documenting my reading in a way to keep track of my thoughts and feelings (kind of cliche) about what I am reading, as well as share my thoughts with others.  I have no clue where this blog will take me, but I do have some ideas that are listed out below:

• Reading Log: I intend to almost complete old school book reports for each of the books I read.  I will include specific information, and my thoughts on each book as I finish them, or as I am reading them.  I do read a range of material, so don't expect the same stuff over and over again.  Typically I enjoy works of fiction, but I do branch out quite often.  
• Stories and Testimonials: I think its intriguing to look back and reflect on times when reading had a specific impact on me.  Part of this blog will be devoted to those stories.  
• Education: I am a teacher at heart so it would be, sort or, an injustice not to include some educational material on here.  It may not be in a traditional sense, and it may not even be separate posts.

I am using this blog as a sort of accountability measure too.  In this day and age where it's easy to throw on Netflix or something of that sort I do find myself reading less and less and I would love to set some of a more consistent schedule.  I would love for feedback, recommendations, or general comments from you as you are reading.  I think that pretty much explains the blog in a nutshell, not too many people read these posts, so I'll end it there.
