So, given my extraordiaryly bad track record at keeping up with this journal as a commentary on my life, and taking into account my life is relatively uninteresting in general, I have decided to change how I use this journal entirely.

First, I'm going to start with actually writing in it with some regularity. Note this does not mean every day or even every week. Shooting for once a month or so here, and that may be ambitious.

Second, I'm not just going to catalog the events of my life. I don't find that interesting to write, and I doubt many find it any more worthwhile to read.

So, instead, I intend to use this as a forum to ponder the better books I have read. See my mood for why I'd think anyone care about my opinions about this anyway.

Regardless, I like discussing books, and I like hearing other people discuss books. So, that is what I am going to do.

(See, my entry on STRANGER THINGS HAPPEN for some idea on what this is probably going to be like).

So, first up in the next few days will be CORALINE by Neil Gaiman cause that's what I just finished reading more or less.

For those interested in contributing here, I would love some recommendations on current novels or short story collections that people think might make a good entry here, or that I'd just enjoy. Also feel free to argue with me about my opinions, tell me I just dn't get it, etc.

Anyway, that's it for now. If anyone things this is a horrible idea you can tell me that too. It won't stop me from doing it anyway, but you can try. :)
