New Book Reviews Section

It’s kind of ironic that when I was in grade school, I absolutely hated reading because what I whenever I was assigned a book to read, it always turned out to be a boring one.  Quite a difference high school and college made because during that particular time, I always had a book in front of my face.  I would either be reading a book for class (college books are far more interesting than those assigned as reading in high school), or writing in a notebook.

I’m very messy and unless it has something to do with my business or blog empire, I tend to misplace things.  Suffice to say that many of the books I read, and many of the notebooks filled with very important ideas and information have gone missing some ten or more years ago.  Sadly, I have no idea where they went; they’re either in storage, or got thrown away, or someone stole them.  In all likelihood, they’re at my parents house buried in a closet filled with my old belongings.

Thanks to the Internet, I am now more organized and neat than ever before; on the Internet, that is.  Accordingly, I have decided to review some of the books I’ve read lately, as a new section for my blog.  Believe it or not, everybody is a critic on some level, no matter how small.  If you don’t believe me, check out Amazon.com, where people have gone to the point of becoming almost obsessed with reviewing products.  Everything (or almost everything) on Amazon.com has a review, and it doesn’t matter how small or insignificant, or pointless a product is; the fact is that if someone bought it, they’ve likely come back to review it.
