About Me

I'm a simple guy living a crazy life. I've got three little humans that run around (sometimes sans clothes) saving the day, having tea parties, dancing, and making all kinds of messes in their wake. I'm married to a larger human who is smart, witty, incredibly creative, and never has a problem expressing her love or when she thinks I'm being a nincompoop. 

I love to read, and this blog gives me an excuse to read and share what I think about it. It's also a place for me to keep a record of books that I've liked or hated.
