BOOKS & READING

Opinions

Here’s where I tell you how I see it about books and the art of reading them. Any content related to the written word should end up here.

Many of the books I read are borrowed from our local public library. I have received free “Advanced Reading” copies of books in the past, and I will accept them in the future if offered. Books sidle into our household in myriad ways. Whether I pay for them in cash or simply time spent reading, I will never let financial considerations color my statements here about a book or its contents.
