A few weeks ago I met a new friend. As we discussed books over lunch I told him that I had begun to write brief summaries of the key elements of the books I read. My intent is to occasionally review my summaries to refresh my memory of the volumes.

For the most part I only read new releases on politics, religion, history, and societal issues, not including pure recreational reading. My goal is to read a book a week. I don’t usually make that but typically read 3 or so a month.

My new friend encouraged me to post my summaries on my blog (blackwhiteorgray.com). After thinking about it that seemed like a good idea. So I will post the summaries of books I have read over the past 90 days or so, and then follow up as I read more.
