I have been writing notes on books all my adult life. The first I can remember is Oswald Spengler’s Decline of the West (Reviewed in 1962). Thereafter, many got lost in shifting residences. Of late, my hunger for reading has returned.
I call these ‘Notes on Books’ rather than Book Reviews (which is how my secretary views them) because they cover all kinds of books – including pulp fiction. Being a reader of books is a curse. You read and read and read. Then scribble and scribble and scribble. Both are a curse. One of my daughters wanted them pulled together and bound – as is my wont.
Note: Not to be taken seriously as writing as scribbles.
