Now that I’ve reviewed three books (wow, I guess I can commit if I really, really try!), I have a bit of a perspective on how I’ve been doing. This is what I’ve picked up on thus far

Pros

• I’ve gotten to touch on pretty varied material in three books: religion and modern life, personal history, and biblical fiction.
• I’ve traveled to ancient times, the middle ages and modern day US.
• I have read both fiction and non fiction
• I had a chance to ask myself some pretty important questions
• I am enjoying reading with a critical eye and am skimming less than I normally do when reading
• I am actually retaining the information that I am reading about much more so than before

Cons

• I had a really hard time taking notes and keeping track of my thoughts
• I didn’t always care for the choices of what authors included or didn’t include in the work
• I am still struggling with the format of the blog
• I am not quite sure what works and what doesn’t
• I am still a bit intimidated at the scope of this blog that I am taking on
