Extended Profile
July 1 Update- My favorite book list made it into the July/August issue of Bookmarks. Grab a copy if you're able to.
I'm
a single guy in Atlanta, GA. who is owned by Caleb the cat. Caleb enjoys sleeping, lots of rubs and flying around the house. I enjoy bird watching, gardening, chocolate-chip cookies, Tivo, the gym, soulful voices, hypnotic rhythms, political discussions and
reading, of course.
Some of my favorite authors are:
G.David Gold, J.Robert Lennon, Pete Dexter, Peter Carey, Michael Chabon, J.Carol Oates, Philip Roth... Just to name a few
I hope to provide people the same excitement that I feel when I read a great book! My books are well taken care of. If applicable, I will note any noticible defects in the journal entry. *I had a disclaimer here stating that my books don't necessarily reflect my taste, but then I realized that most of them actually do.* I would love to hear from any like-minded readers!
