A diary to keep track of the books that I have read, for my friends to come back and look for recommendations, or for you to read opinions on books, leave comments and have a conversation.
Why this page?
A Friend asked me why do I bother to maintain this page when there are thousands of reviews on Amazon and elsewhere on the net. I did not have a clear answer then but I guess the reason is so that I can keep track of what I am reading and go back to it later.
Also, the very fact that I am going to be writing a review of book after reading it makes me read my books in a different light. This makes me more judicious in my readings, take notes and remember points. Whereas earlier I would just run through the book as a story, now it makes me pause and reflect on what the author has to say versus what I think and believe.
Finally its my chance to see and compare notes with other readers as to how they perceive the same books.
