I'm still here.
I'm just trying to figure out what to do.
I realized in November that my reading habits had become negative. I was arranging my life around reading five books a week, and I didn't have time to enjoy them thoroughly or think about them thoroughly when writing a review.
Reading was becoming a chore. And I was putting off reading the classics that I wanted to read because they were too long and would mess up my schedule.
This is not consistent with my goals. Since I will be starting a new business, I will have less free time to read anyhow.
I don't think I will keep on reviewing a book every weekday. That means I need a new blog name. And raison d'etre.
I'll think fo one shortly. Meanwhile, I am reading Middlemarch and enjoying it very much.

Reading the Classics
About Me
What's this about?
I'm reading the greatest works of literature in the history of the world. And a whole bunch of other crap. And writing about it here.
Here's the list, if you care to join me.
Yes, I am reading all of the books in all of those lists. At the current rate it will take me about 40 years.
If a review has 'Reading Journal Entry' in front of it, that means it is just something I am reading for fun, and it is not on the list.

Nice to hear from you! How about Mapletree for a blog name?
Look forward to seeing you in your new incarnation, whatever it will be --- and I hope you enjoy Middlemarch as much as I did, it is a wonderful novel in my opinion.
There is a very good "Reading Middlemarch" blog led by Isabella of Magnificent Octopus (in Canada). They have finished reading the book now: I really enjoyed reading their posts about it. Let me know if you don't know it and I will dig out the url, it was probably something like readingmiddlemarch.blogspot.com.
