To read and write.

To the members:

We are here because we share a common interest with each one, that is, reading. Although the point of this blog is to share your comments or experience with the books that you've read, it can also coincidentally be an avenue to exercise your writing skills. However, we don't want to pressure you on that area. Quoting one of the members who inspired this putting-up-a-blog idea:

Hindi kelangan na academic type talaga, okey lang if journalistic type yung writing as long as mababasa ng lahat, doing away with the technicalities and highfaluting words . The reason for this is to give others an idea on what kind of books we are reading, or for any reason why we read that book. Unbiased, unparalleled and plagiarism-free form of textual analysis lang.

So, feel free to discuss about the books that you've read, the genre that you like, the author you prefer, or even the books that you would like to try reading. In this generation where the booming of technology has affected the lifestyle of young people, it is a need that we preserve and promote the importance of these 2 basic skills: reading and writing. And also, to develop the ability to form our own preferences or opinion especially with the wide range of resources being made available to and by the internet.

To the readers (of this blog):

Welcome! Thank you for dropping by this blog. Feel free to drop comments, engage in discussions and what not.

I may not be familiar with the usage of this word or where it's referenced to, but I just feel like it's appropriate at this juncture, so, what the heck: Excelsior!
