Why a blog?

So, a little while ago my amazing roommate introduced me to this list, 1000 novels everyone must read before they die. http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/series/1000novels This list was produced by a British newspaper, and I find the Brits quite reliable, especially in their book selections, so I definitely thought it would be good. Additionally, they have a great explanation for how they choose the books. It's not 1000 most popular novels or 1000 most acclaimed novels, so it has a mixture of modern and classic. From Harry Potter to George Orwell, Bridget Jone's Diary to Crime and Punishment. Definitely a wide mix. Myself being an immense reader, I am ALWAYS looking for new books, new authors, etc. This list totally fit into my life style, a way to enhance myself both intellectually, culturally, and perhaps culturally. Besides, what a sense of self-fulfillment to have read 1000 books!

So on this page, I have decided to review each book after I finish it. Mind you this will be COMPLETELY opinionated, purely saying why I did or did not like the book! Some of the books I have already read, and would rather not reread (i.e. Candide, Tale of Two Cities, etc) so I will review those as I am reading another book, in order to make sure I get a review out for them. In the meantime, I hope you sit back, relax, and enjoy the reviews. Oh, and maybe read some of the books yourself too, they're GREAT!
