"Printer's ink has been running a race against gunpowder these many, many years. Ink is handicapped, in a way, because you can blow up a man with gunpowder in half a second, while it may take twenty years to blow him up with a book.

A little about myself--- I am 29 years old. I have a wife and one child. I recently graduated from Louisiana Tech University with a degree in Speech Communications.
I enjoy reading (obviously.) I also enjoy, gardening, paintball, music, travelling, cooking, movies (although the book is ALways better,) and various other things that bring me enjoyment.
I am unable to pick a favorite genre of books. I read whatever catches my eye. Depending on my mood, I will read anything from Western's, sci fi, fantasy, historical fiction, non fiction, How to and instruction, mystery, Horror, and Classics.
The books on my Read list....i've read;) the books on my wish list are books that i either own and have not read, or books that i wish to read.
If I spent as much time reading, as i do on shelfari, I would have read alot more books by now !
