January 2004
Happy 2004! After the flurry of holiday madness, which I call "wrap, rip and indulge," we escaped for a weeklong vacation to the Outer Banks where I spent a lot of time reading. One afternoon we ventured out to a bookstore in Duck called Duck's Cottage where I met Jamie Layton, a bookseller. I mentioned that I loved to look at bookstores since I owned a company that had seven sites online that talked about books and authors. Before I could say more, she said, "My favorite site online is ReadingGroupGuides.com." You can well imagine the chat we had after that as we traded ideas and suggestions.

The nice thing about reading is that there is no right or wrong way to do it. Unlike playing sports, following a recipe or driving a car, reading has no rules.
