About:
I made at least two reading resolutions recently; 1. read less, live more; 2. read books which give me more pleasure.

I'm not collecting friends; I prefer to interact with a small circle of individuals whose tastes and voices I recognize. If we had no interaction (group reads etc.) before we became GR friends and you continue to not interact with me, please don't get offended if I defriend you....more
