So.... Thoughts.

I don't like writing book reviews. First of all, I'm not particularly good at it. And to add to that, there are plenty of book reviewers already blogging and they're much better than me. Secondly, I never intended to write book reviews. I just did that because it felt like the "right" thing to do.

I started this blog just to kind of...rant about books. Or think about them. It began when I reread To Kill a Mockingbird and I couldn't get certain lines out of my head. I kept pondering them, and eventually I had an extremely nerdy discussion about it while at a pizzeria with two friends. That's when I decided that maybe I should blog my thoughts.

Thinking about books is pretty healthy---it expands your mind and, by questioning a character's actions and underlying themes of a story, you sort of get to know yourself as well as the book.

However, blogging my strange thoughts has proven to be difficult. I go to write them down and suddenly draw a blank. That blank turns into a crappy review. :-/ Eventually, though, I do want to blog about books. In some way. I'm just not sure what way that is. I'll figure it out though. :D

Also, I know no one reads this blog (I feel like the words I type are echoing from the loneliness. "Helllloooo! Hellloooo! Anyone out there?"), but I feel the need to explain why I haven't been blogging that much. It's spring break, and I...I dunno. I just haven't been reading too many books. Sorry about that. >.<

So until I get a Big Idea about what I should blog about, I'm out. :-) Hopefully I'll be back blogging in just a few days.
