Reading is Fundamental

As I began to organize my bookshelves I noticed a pattern with my books. Not so much in terms of subject, but publishers and one in particular. I love Chronicle Books! I think in the past two years I've purchased at least 8 books, only noticing the connection as the eye glass logo stared back at me from the bookshelf a couple of days ago. They have so many different kinds of books I have to lock my wallet away every time I walk into a book store because those books seem to leap into my hands and scream, "buy me! buy me!"

I'm also becoming an avid reader, soon to be collector, of McSweeney's. They are an independent publishers out of California and if you like to read or watch interesting shorts of varying topics this is the place to go to marvel and indulge your passion for writin' and readin' and dvdin'. I discovered them last year at a independent book fest, it's like a music festival but with bookworms and bibliophiles instead of fans and groupies. Very addictive and super clever writing!

Or if you want to make your own book or discover the undiscovered check out Blurb. I came across this site this week and I'm already in love. Oooh books, I love thee!
