Book Reviews

So I've decided to start up book reviews on this blog.  I might occasionally do film reviews as well.  I figure people out there that love to read want to know what to read.  I aim to do that here.  But first, let me tell you a bit about myself.  I love to read.  If it's good enough, I will read it no matter the genre.  However my true love for books is in science fiction.  The future is an exciting time and the possibilities are endless, for both technologies and the imagination that can make use of these technologies.  I hope that you will enjoy reading my take on some books and look forward to seeing your feedback on my feedback.
