Introduction

“It’s not what you read, but what you learn, that matters.”

This place is a collection of reviews and summaries of the books I’ve read and want to remember. Books which, while not necessarily life-transforming, are more than good entertainment. However, please get the original and read for yourself. You may get something totally different. As these are not necessarily book reviews, don’t fret if I disclose details of the books, although I will try to give spoiler warnings.

I love reading since I was a small child. My mother always brags that I was such a easy girl to care for, just give me some books and I would sit quietly for hours. I would even read dictionary (at least until I was old enough to go to library on my own, as our family was not a book-loving one.) It’s hard to say what type of books I like. I don’t like sci-fi in general but Ender’s Game and Ender’s Shadow are on my top ten list. I seldom touch romances, though once in a while one will touch my heart. However, in general I enjoy books about Buddhism, science, travelogues and Asian culture. BookCrossing has really strengthened my love for reading (and expanded my Mt TBR to Mt Range TBR); it is a great community of bookworms, and I love the idea of passing the books on.  Its related site, BookObsessed, is where BookCrossers do fun things with their books besides reading them.  Swap them, relay them… It’s seriously addictive!
