What is There to Read?

This is my first blog and it's about what I read, why I read it, and thoughts, etc. gleaned from it, with possible suggestions for further reading on a given topic, or perhaps why I won't read it again, or anything from the same author, and so forth. It's all about reading - a book, magazine, blog, link, news - whatever I read, I will probably comment on it in some fashion. Some of what I read comes from the local library, but most of it is contained in my extensive home library, combined with my husband's huge library where he works (because I have access to those books, as well). Sometimes I read books because they are recommended to me; other times I read books that just plain sound interesting; I also read books for a book club of which I am a regular attendee. My husband, on the other hand is always reading. Take this scenario as typical of him: He is sitting at the kitchen table eating a salad for lunch. What is there to read? Why the olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette bottles. He has used this to his advantage, winning games by being the only person who knows that ALL balsamic vinaigrette comes from Modena, Italy! He reads cereal boxes, jar labels, anything he can get his hands on; if he can't find anything readily available, he will bring whatever book he is reading to the table, take it in the car, stuff it in my purse - you get the idea. I usually read things with more substance and which take longer, but both of these notions have been disputed! So off we go - what is there to read? Right now I am reading Blogging for Dummies so I can get this blog off the ground and out into the blogosphere. Wish me good success!
