Reading goals for 2015
2015 is going to have to be better than 2014 was. I did not have a good year, and not just because I failed to reach my reading goal.
Because of personal problems and general ill mental health, I expect to be doing a lot of re-reading of books I've already read especially for the first part of the year.
I guess I'm doing comfort reading instead of reading new stuff. But it's what I have to do right Read more of this blog post »

“Like everywhere else in the world, the book stores of Britain are struggling with being pushed out of the market by online booksellers. The most popular book store chain in the UK is Waterstones. They are closing locations and cutting back as they lost business, but they aren't losing business as fast and as hard as the book stores in the US. There is one reason for this: sales. If you go into a book store in the UK, you will be greeted by tables covered with bestsellers and crime novels and other popular books, stacked high with signs saying “3 for £10”. Take heed, American booksellers: people buy more things when you lower the price sometimes. People love a special offer.”

“Fruitcake: In America we have come to an understanding about fruitcake. Fruitcake is a gift given by and to elderly aunts. They give it to you because they think you must like it because you gave one to them. You give it to them because you think they must like fruitcake because they are elderly and lost their tastebuds in the war.”
