Hello! (or The Only Disclaimer You'll Ever Get)

Hello, nerds, and welcome to Blogging My Bookshelf! This blog is Exactly What It Says on the Tin. Basically, each week I will take one book off my massive bookshelf to read and then rant about. Because my bookcase was recently moved and its contents shuffled, this could include anything from Agatha Christie murder mysteries, forensic reference books, and historical biographies to Virignia Woolf, the Warrior Cats’ books, T.S. Eliot, and Tolstoy. 

Also, I plan to include analysis on the works we are currently reading in my English class. Enter Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Milan Kundera, Sophocles, Aristophanes, Dante, Morrison, Rushdie, Goethe, and the rest. Hopefully, my rants will make the pain of learning less acute (Joking. Learning is fun!).

A heads up. This blog is one massive spoiler. I will write anything and everything that comes to mind without a thought of who is reading and whether or not they have read whatever I am talking about. Thus, I refuse to put a spoiler alert at the beginning of each post. You have been warned. 

So, here's the way this is gonna work (For now at least. This is subject to change.) I will post on a given subject as I read. Then, when I'm done (as done as you can ever be with a piece of literature), I'll collect all the posts I've done on a topic and organize them into one easily navigable page (very useful for studying). These topic pages will be linked in the righthand column of this page. 

If you have any suggestions as to format, content, or anything else, please comment and be honest. This blog is for you as much as it is for me. Also, corrections in spelling are welcome. 

Lastly, the blog is what you make it. It's no fun to just rant to myself. Please comment and rant and start a dialogue. It will be more fun for all involved.

So long, and thanks for all the fish!

P.S. Point of translation: I will often reference the site tvtropes.org. For any self-respecting, fun-loving nerd, this site will be your salvation. It is my favorite form of procrastination and you might actually learn something in the process (*gasp*). Do yourself a favor and check it out when you can. A good place to start would be the hyperlink in the second sentence. Just saying...
