I love reading. That pretty much sums it up :)

I read a mix of things, but the bulk of it tends to be fantasy and science fiction. I love books that deal with moral and ethical issues, and I have a special place in my heart for dystopias.

I am currently in grad school pursuing a PhD in Biochemistry, and so books dealing with... more »

    The Year of the Flood

    • Rated 3 stars

    Did not at all realize this was part of a series! I will hopefully be reading Book 1 and 3 - they don't seem like they necessarily need to be read in order. Anyway, I'm struggling between a 3 and 4 star rating on this one. I really liked it, but didn't feel particularly attached to either of the...

    Did not at all realize this was part of a series! I will hopefully be reading Book 1 and 3 - they don't seem like they necessarily need to be read in order. Anyway, I'm struggling between a 3 and 4 star rating on this one. I really liked it, but didn't feel particularly attached to either of the main characters. I don't know if this is because I listened via audio, or if its because the book is broken into parts. Still, it's an interesting story and I'm definitely compelled to read the entire series.

      Kathleen H: I think I would like to read it someday, but am curious--is it a very long book to read, or does it go pretty fast?

      James K: It is less than 200 pages so probably could be read in a day, if you have the whole day free to read.

    It is heartening to know that a series can get even better with age. Keep them going!

    I'm a single working professional in the financial services field who just bought a Kindle for Mother's Day, 2012. I want to start reading more books because I'm a self-proclaimed movie junkie who frequently enjoys reading books that have been made into movies. Ever since being in journalism and...

    Veganist

    The author did a good job of giving compelling arguments for "leaning toward" veganism. I found the book to be very convincing and am trying to cut meat out my diet, as well as dairy. It's something I have been interested in doing for some time anyway, but she really put it all into...

    The author did a good job of giving compelling arguments for "leaning toward" veganism. I found the book to be very convincing and am trying to cut meat out my diet, as well as dairy. It's something I have been interested in doing for some time anyway, but she really put it all into perspective.

    It's not the best written book in the world, but the arguments were sound and if you are interested in veganism and are looking for reasons to back up your decision, you probably will find this book helpful.

    I am a third grade teacher in Michigan. I love to read and enjoy talking to others about new titles. I have decided to only add books that I have read from the start of 2010. I think this will be a fun way for me to see how many books I have read since starting my bookshelf on line.
