Please follow this link to “Wandering the Stacks,” my book review project.

What “Wandering the Stacks” is all about:

This summer, my book habit having grown into a financially unsustainable addiction, I began going to the Brooklyn Public Library on a regular basis.  There, beneath the soaring ceilings of the Central Branch, I discovered my version of Paradise.  Or, I should say, rediscovered.  As a child I remember being let loose in the Akron Public Library and feeling the ultimate freedom of being able to choose any book and, thus, any future, of stepping inside any life, the limits and possibilities endless.  All I had to do was reach up and take a book down from the shelf. 

Now that freedom has returned.  Once or twice a week, I wander the library stacks and pick at random.  Maybe I’m drawn in by the title, maybe by the author’s name.  Sometimes I just close my eyes and grab.  The thrill makes me almost delirious. 

I’m dedicating this page to reviews of my selections.  Some of my reads will be by well-known writers, others by authors just emerging.  If you have suggestions or a book you’d like me to review, please let me know.  I’m not constraining myself to the library’s offerings; after all, this project is all about limitlessness.
