I am a graduate student studying medical research who has a secret obsession with poetry, fiction, and travel memoirs. As a child I read religiously, but I had a hard time transitioning from children's books to adult novels. Bookstores intimidated me... there were so many books and I was unsure of where to start, so I avoided them altogether and stayed close to my comfort zone. I was also afraid that nothing would be as good as the books I had already read.
Then I made the leap, almost a year ago, and picked up "Eat, Pray, Love" by Elizabeth Gilbert and I never looked back. Books have really changed my life this past year. They have livened my imagination, comforted me in hard times, and relaxed me during stressful weeks. I want to share with the world the books I have discovered in hopes that they will touch as many people as possible. Go read!
