Welcome.

Attention all lovers of books, art, crazy people, and awesome life experiences. This blog is for you.

So what is this?

The short answer: I don’t actually know. It’s whatever I/we want it to be.

The long answer: It’s a list of books. Kind of like a bucket list, it’s a list of books I want to read/own before I die. But it’s so much more than that. Since I am an artist (see www.eaphotography.tumblr.com), and since I already make plenty of art based on or inspired by books I’ve read, which is my other passion, this blog will also document any and all art projects that result from reading books. It will record books that I acquire, books that I read as I’m reading them, and books that I want to read someday. It will likely also include all sorts of philosophical wonderings/musings that also come from reading these books. AND I invite you (that is, anyone at all) to contribute as well. Read along with me. Send me your suggestions for books to read, and let me know what you think of the books and my reactions to them. Heck, send me your reactions to books you’ve read! Send me your favorite quotes from books. Send me anything really. I thrive on interesting, intellectual conversations.

Send any and all comments/questions/concerns/suggestions to: thebooklist0713@gmail.com

So is this an art project? Maybe. I am sort of thinking of it as more of a “life project” than an art project. It will spawn art projects, for sure, but it is more of a life-long experience and project in and of itself.

ENJOY!
