goodreads, good. . .

I recently signed up on goodreads because a bunch of friends and family were already doing it and I wanted the cool gizmo for the right sidebar on my blog.

It has been great getting all the emails from those friends and family showing me what they have read, how they rated the book, and any comments they shared. This has brought into sharp reality how little opportunity I get to read. The irony is, I read all day at work. . . just not books. I also write all day too, another irony for an aspiring author and NaNoWriMoist. I do fit in an occasional Reader's Digest article or Bathroom Reader page, but not a full blown novel.

Nevertheless, I too shall soon be filling your inbox with emails outlining my literary conquests! Titles such as The Fundamental Orders of Connecticut, The Body of Liberties (1641), and The English Bill of Rights! So take that! All you folks who get to read an endless parade of fun novels, I say. . . I'm jealous.

Keep up the goodreads. . .and I'll catch up when I get a life.
