One of my hobbies is reading great writing. Naturally, people are never surprised to see me going through books, spending too much time and money at bookstores, and lately seeking out good writers on the Internet.
In an effort to foster this literary environment online, I will start to write reviews of the works that I spend my time reading. This won't be limited to just fiction novels. I'll keep it open to non-fiction, poetry, short story collections, and anything else.
Most recently I've finished reading Truman Capote's non-fiction work In Cold Blood, so a review of it with my impressions will be the first to appear on the Writer Shore blog.
My current reading material is Yann Martel's novel Life of Pi, and we can expect a review of that to come second.
I think it'd be awesome for the readers of this blog to suggest anything you'd like me to read and write a review on. Just go to the comments and leave your suggestion, anything goes!
