Okay. I figured it out. I added The New York Times feed on the left side of the blog. You can click on the feed and it will take you to the latest book review! You can see that there are two feeds. The first feed discusses books in general. The second feed is the Sunday book review. You can click on the title of the book and you will be directed to the review. I think that it will be a great way for us to learn about new books. I also like hearing about books from friends and family. Please let me know if you hear about any great books!

The ultimate value of life depends upon awareness, and the power of contemplation rather than upon mere survival. ~Aristotle

Reading is a Beautiful Thing!
When I look back, I am so impressed againwith the life-giving power of literature. If I were a young person today, trying to gain a sense ofmyself in the world, I would do that again by reading,just as I did when I was young.~ Maya Angelou ~
Read not to contradict and confute; nor to believe and take for granted;nor to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and consider.Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed,and some few to be chewed and digested:that is, some books are to be read only in parts,others to be read, but not curiously, and some fewto be read wholly, and with diligence and attention. ~ Francis Bacon ~
All the best stories in the world are but one story in reality -- the story of escape.It is the only thing which interests us all and at all times, how to escape.~ Arthur Christopher Benson ~
Readers may be divided into four classes: 1.) Sponges, who absorb all that they read and return it in nearly the same state, only a little dirtied. 2.) Sand-glasses, who retain nothing and are content to getthrough a book for the sake of getting through the time. 3.) Strain-bags, who retain merely the dregs of what they read. 4.) Mogul diamonds, equally rare and valuable, who profit by what they read, and enable others to profit by it also. ~ Samuel Taylor Coleridge ~
