An Introduction: Why blog? Why now?

I forget things. Really. And I am still in my 20s. So this blog will serve as a way for me not to forget things. I plan to write reviews and summaries of the books that happen to be on my nightstand (mostly very boring pieces on politics, economics, social justice, or how to be a millionaire). This blog will be my virtual memory of all of the vast knowledge and nonsense that is available in the latest non-fiction book. Moreover, I can access this collection of reconstituted knowledge at anytime in the future--you know, when I need that random factoid in an effort to lose friends and alienate people (yippee!). So fasten your seat belts (only if you are reading this in a car), and get ready for one more thrilling blog about non-fiction (and stop reading your computer while you are driving, that is just not cool, ok).
