Shuttin' 'er Down

It is with a heavy heart that I officially shut down Mark’s Book Blog, a.k.a. Mark’s Book Diary.  (If a tree falls in the forest, and there's no one around. . .)

I’m just not posting as often as I’d like.  A blog must contain fresh information.  As with all readers, the time it takes for me to finish a book, as well as the time that I may take between books, varies.  I had intended to supplement book-specific posts with features like, “The Classics Never Die” (about classic novels), “Quick Hits” (featuring a sentence or two on previously-read books), “Random Musings” (which were frequently random and discussed book resources, other blogs, etc.) and other book information (like e-book reader developments, award-winning books, etc.).  I have let myself down by not posting regularly.

I intend to continue to maintain a list of books I read and books I want to read.  I will also jot down a note or two about each book I read since a big reason that I started the Blog was to keep track of what I read.

I want to THANK the 2 or 3 (ok, 1 or 2?) loyal readers out there who wasted their valuable time on my ramblings.  Please keep in touch with book recommendations and let me know if you want to know “what I’ve read recently and whether I recommend it.”

LIVE LONG, READ AND PROSPER.  WE’LL LEAVE THE LIGHTS FOR YOU.
