Hello! I just wanted to take a minute to let you know who I am and why I am writing this. My name is Kyle Peterson and I love to read. I can totally nerd out on reading. I truly believe reading to be one of the most amazing things someone can do with their time. While it is true that I am an English teacher, I will not even pretend to be an expert on what makes a book "good". Everyone has their own opinion and we will each take something different away from every book. In creating this site I hope to accomplish a couple of things: keep a running list of things I read this year and hopefully inspire a few people to Read a Freakin' Book! I have read so many books over the years that sometimes I forget about them. I'll see a movie of a book I have read and when my friends ask, "Was that in the book?" I can't even remember. To be honest, it makes me sad. Sure I can remember basic plot lines and characters, but the details flee. So, I hope this will help me remember. Reading is really beneficial in so many ways. You can take my word for, or hop on over to the "Why Reading Matters" tab and see some professional research that was done on the matter. Additionally, in a world where everything is so readily available and technology is running rapid, sometimes you just need to take a step back and let your mind sink into a world unlike our own. The reviews on this site are my opinion and you don't have to agree with me. I actually hope you will make your own decisions and Read a Freakin' Book!
