Hello and welcome to the Rochester Reader web log. I am your anonymous host, the eponymous “Rochester Reader.” I’ve been thinking about starting a blog for a long time now, and after careful consideration, I have decided that this is the most appropriate form it can take: a blog about books.
I like to read. No, that’s not quite right: I LOVE to read. I have to read, every day, just as the shark has to keep swimming to live. I keep track of what I’ve read, and sometimes I write reviews. I have kept them in my sad little notebook since 2007. And up until now, no one has ever read my reviews.
This blog will start slow – I admit I have a lot to learn when it comes to web publishing. My intentions are to start with what I’m reading, maybe tell a story or two, and then get into some other ideas I have for the blog. Most of all, I hope I can help someone – anyone – find a love of reading.
Check back later for more posts. This is going to be good.
