New Yorker

I have been hopelessly behind in my reading. To prove this, there are stacks of magazines in my library, many of which I have been considering just donating to the local thrift store. I recently adopted a soldier, however, and as I am not currently working or going to school, I started reading everything in sight in order to have something to write about. Finally, I have started making my way through several New Yorkers that are a year or more old.

There are several things that I love about the New Yorker, but one article stood out and inspired me to start this blog - "The King of Reading." This article talks about Art Garfunkel listing all the books he has read since June 1968, which I am going to attempt to do starting today (or when I finish the book I am currently reading). My list may not be as literary as his, but I am hoping it will one day be as expansive. For a peek at the article, visit the New Yorker website at the following link- http://www.newyorker.com/talk/2008/01/28/080128ta_talk_paumgarten.

Tipping my hat to another inspiration, I will be using this blog space to post my cooking triumphs and terrors. I just finished Julie and Julia (which I highly recommend), and I want to just put what I am doing and what I am passionate about out there. If it works, great; if not, I won't be devastated, but I am going to try to give this my all.

Welcome to my journey!
