I love books
I’m what is usually called a “voracious” reader.

“President Woodrow Wilson explained the dangerous connection between excessive economic and political power in similar terms, in his 1913 book, The New Freedom: “I do not expect to see monopoly restrain itself. If there are men in this country big enough to own the government of the United States, they are going to own it.”

Welcome new Goodreads friend. Look forward to seeing your reviews, ratings and book suggestions. As I'm in the process of relocating to a new position in the middle east, I'm a bit behind on my more substantial reads and knocking off some lighter, mind-candy fare. But hope to soon be back on track once settled in.
