I’m beginning a new “category” of blog posts — something I plan to write weekly, or monthly, depending on the circumstances. It is called, “On my Bedstand,” and it’s essentially a list of what I am reading — the books I have on my bedstand – and when I finish reading something I’ll post a review. Right now, I have three books that I am currently reading, one that I plan to read, and one that I just cannot stop re-reading. Here they are (in that order):The Best American NonRequired Reading, 2005
The Castle in the Forest, by Norman Mailer
Hadrian’s Wall, by William Dietrich
The Count of Monte Cristo, by Alexandre Dumas
Stay tuned…
