Hello, My name is Onigiri and I'm a book addict.

Anyone who knows me well, knows that I’m a reader. If you know me really well, you’d also know that I dabble in writing also. Well I’m not sure if I write well, but I sure can read. Most people might have a book or two piled up on the night stand. Me? I have a pile next the night stand, by the window, on the bed, next to the two overflowing bookshelves...

My addiction to book has gotten so bad I now have taken to sneaking off to the bookstore when I’m alone just so I can get my fix. I used to bring a friend, but most wont let me go near a bookstore if I’m with them. They have all figured out that if they let me go into one they won’t see me again for another few hours and getting me out of one is near impossible. Some people close out the bars, I close out Barnes and Nobles. Yes, I know, I’m a sad, sad nerd. *sigh*

So is there a point to all this?

This is my lovely way of telling you that some of my future post (er... probably soon) will involve the discussion of books. Hopefully, you will all be interested in what I’m reading at the moment and what I think about them. I read just about every genre and even the odd cereal box if I don’t have anything handy around (an oddity since I usually have some reading material nearby). My favorite genre is fantasy, but I do tend to branch out depending on my interests at the time. Lately, I’ve been reading more sci fi, bestsellers, and occasionally a romance or a mystery book. I have a slew of favorite authors and if one strikes my fancy I will often try to read everything they’ve written. I have a bad habit of reading a few different books at one time, all very different. In my currently reading pile there is a fiction book, a book on writing, a classic, and a history book. Just to give you a glimpse of I will possibly be reviewing, here's what I'm reading:

Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephensen


On Writing by Stephen King


Dracula by Bram Stoker


Salt: A History of the World by Mark Kurlansky
