I recently joined Twitter under the avatar SarahReads. In my new found addiction (there are so many...), I discovered that I no longer needed to feel guilt about posting numerous articles and links to pdfs and webcomics, because 1) Nobody knows who I am outside a small circle of friends and 2) The status update is limited to 140 words, so if someone doesn't want to click on my link, or read my "tweet", they can just scroll right over it! This isn't the case with facebook, which forces your friends, family, classmates, acquaintances, and network affiliates to consume everything you have to offer.
So why this blog? I am a voracious reader. I can read all day long if you let me. I like to keep my opinions close until I read many different opinions and articles about any given topic. Also, I am buried under bookmarks to articles I enjoyed reading and I need some place to put them all. So, this blog will be acting as a bookmark to links about topics varying in nature from security matters, to organized crime, to political matters, genre publishing, and the mundane like webcomics and webnovels I enjoyed. Additionally, the 140 character limitation on twitter does not allow for effective debate or response, so this blog will hopefully enable this.
In sum, this blog will allow others to benefit from my collection of readings, and if you want to add to my collection, post alternative viewpoints, or just plain spark some good debate, please post a comment!
Enjoy Fellow Reader
