On My Bedstand

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

The Road, by Cormac McCarthy

Hadrian’s Wall, by William Dietrich

The Count of Monte Cristo, by Alexandre Dumas

Stay tuned…
