I try to read as much as possible. It gets me off my phone and away from the television. I have read many books, mostly non-fiction, but I have made an effort to read some of the classics.
Here, I will introduce the book, give a short synopsis and rate the book on a five star scale. If the book really sucks, you won’t see it here so don’t expect to see a 1-star book.
I am adding this to really encourage myself to read, at least, a couple of books a month (preferably, one a week).
