Speak loudly and carry a big book . . .

Every time we open a book and begin to read, we set out on a journey. Depending upon the book and our interest level, these journeys may be like pleasant jaunts around the block or uphill slogs over rocky terrain. The best are often expeditions into the unknown where we can experience the thrill of the "new"—an exotic setting, an unfamiliar time period, or characters with problems both familiar and strange to us.
Think of this site as a travel guide to help you find a trip you might like to take. We understand that all travelers are unique and our goal is to present a wide range of excursions to tempt even the most reluctant reader.
So let the journey begin...
