My brother and I are starting this blog in order to document what we read, see, and hear, and our thoughts on such works. We are embarking on this journey for many reasons: to encourage ourselves to read more for fun, to read more thoughtfully, to talk with each other more, to share our opinions, but there is something more. We will be spending hours each week discussing works that have taken their makers lifetimes to make. When we discuss a movie, a book, a song, a photo, or anything else, we are not only discussing a work of art, but a life. These writers and artists often put their entire being into these works and when they are gone, they live longer, not forever, but longer through their works. Other people are what make my life worth living and I want to notice them, to meet them, and to thank them.
The next post, Scott-Charles (truly, I call him Scotty, but he likes Scott-Charles) will begin his journey through The Count of Monte Cristo and then I will discuss Les Mis, both the book and the recent movie.
Thanks for reading and see you soon,
Kat
