Books of 2008

I decided to create another blog. This blog is dedicated to the books I am reading. I will make lists of books that I have read, review books that I feel strongly about, but mostly try to chronicle that books I am reading and when I read them. Books are such a huge part of my life that it only makes sense to keep track of when, what, and where. I have titled this blog The Book Orchard because of a quote by Henry Ward Beecher, which reads thus:

A book is a garden, an orchard, a storehouse, a party,
a company by the way, a counselor, a multitude of counselors."
--Henry Ward Beecher
