| Jane cannot lay
claim to creating the original book club, but did conceive the web site.
She often can be found at night in front of the computer at home, working
on various web and writing projects. The springboard for her interest in
writing actually began with letter writing to pen pals as a child. Presently,
some of her writing continues to consist of letters to family members, including
two adorable grandchildren. She has two adult children and one teenager.
Jane reads every chance she gets. Some days all she gets is the lunch
break book reading time. She says she maintains interest in a book, eventually
getting through the book at this pace and finds it worthwhile. She is
a frequent patron of the library as a source for books; she doesn't have
enough storage for books or energy to resell or give them away once she
is finished with them. She does agree with a reading friend, though, that
some books are worth having. Jane finds Book Reader's Traverse as a way
to memorialize the books she reads in a way that even having a copy of
the book cannot do.
Recently, Jane discovered audio books. Not only do audio books enable
Jane to intake more fiction, they offer that long forgotten, comfortable
feeling of being read to. Jane can continue her daily tasks and still
be entertained. Expect to see more audio books reviewed on this site.
