Restarting the blog

I've decided to jump back into blogging with an updated format.  Since "Random things I'm thinking about plus updates on Dallas Stars hockey" are not terribly interesting or focused blog ideas, I'm going to base most of my posts around books I'm reading or have read.  I'll include occasional updates on what I'm doing when I'm not reading, but I think that having some guiding principles will help me out. 

I will be open to suggestions on books I should read or other topics I should write about,so feel free to comment.  (Although I don't mind innocuous stalkers.)  

In the words of Tobias, "let the great experiment begin!"
