A legitimate post, but only sort of.

I suppose a good way to start is by talking about my own interests in books.

My all-time favorite author is Chuck Palahniuk, although I will read almost anything handed to me. Last year after keeping a tally of books I read throughout the school year, it totaled to over 100. This year, however, is quite pathetic, seeing as I have been reading the same book since maybe the second month of school. It's not boring at all, mind you, Jeffrey Eugenides is brilliant, and I loved The Virgin Suicides, and Middlesex is great, but of course I have an excuse. I find myself not having enough time to do what I want this year, but that doesn't stop me from being able to read some trashy teen novel like Gossip Girl in less than a day.
After awhile, I find myself just being able to absorb books. I love the fact that I love reading, yet hate the fact that oftentimes I find myself going on facebook or myspace in favor of picking up a novel I have been reading for four months.

But more about what I like...
Some of my recent favorites, in no particular order, include;
Me Talk Pretty One Day
The Kite Runner
The Things They Carried
Friday Night Lights
Prep

Ignore the fact that I fail to list authors or anything of relevance next to the titles, but I suppose that those are some of the books I will begin reviewing first.

Until then,
Steff

This is basically a new blog setup I have, because blogspot was being a hooker and wouldn't recognize my username.

-Steff, sixteen, book reader/reviewer/fanatic

This blog is an assignment for my media studies class, but I will write reviews about books I've read, my favorite books by genre and/or time period, the books I have recently been reading, etc.

As always,
Steff
