BioMy reasons for creating this particular journal are simple.
1. I believe that in order to get the most from any piece of literature you must first know about the person who put the words on the page. When reading a book cold you have certain ideas about the book and the meaning that it carries. When you find out who the person is who wrote that book, when they lived, how they lived, what they believed in, and the life circumstances that possibly led to their beliefs, you tend to gather a whole new meaning from the book.
2. I read a lot and I love to have a place where I can write down what I have read and what I have thought about it.
I do not necessarily espouse all of the views, or even some of the views, that these authors believe, but I still love to find out the "what, why, and how" of who they are or were.
