Why am I doing this?

I am a lapsed reader.


I love to read but have been looking for more purpose to my reading. For approximately six years, my brain has been unable to digest little more than books I have already read. The Harry Potter series, Little Women and anything by Agatha Christie will remain favorites, but I just don't need to read them again right now.


So here I am. Here are my goals:


1. Broaden my literary scope into some genres that I have been unlikely to approach.


2. Re-visit some classic authors and books that I have not read since high school or college.


3. Have discussions about books with anyone willing to contribute.


If anyone would care to join me, that would be great. I am always looking for title recommendations, so feel free to let me know what you are reading. If nothing else, I hope this blog gets me thinking about titles other than Fancy Nancy and The Very Hungry Caterpillar!
