The summer of 1000 books

Throughout my childhood and teen years i always considered myself a voracious reader. i was never huge into video games and i didn't really ever understand what 'surfing the web' ever really meant. i loved books. this love was heavily influenced by my mum and dad, both of whom are always reading. their library was a constant source of recommendations. however i found once i entered post secondary school, my time spent reading fell away. there were far to many other exciting things to be doing or so i thought. however, this summer - the summer between my 3rd and 4th year- i found myself faced with a 2-3hr round trip commute. music didn't cut the boredom. i found the music more distracting for so long and my headphones made my ears all sweaty on hot days. So one day i threw a book i had been given for my birthday in my bag. i didn't have high hopes for it, but found that my commute became too short. i needed more time to read this beautiful novel.
so now my commute plans have changed. i am now determined to read as many books as my brain can fathom this summer and beyond. the purpose of this blog is thus:
1) to catalogue and remember the highlights and lowlights.
2) to discuss the more difficult novels and pray for understanding
3) to continue this consumption, but not get lost in it.
4) bragging rights (lawl)
