Starting Things Off On The Right Foot

Being a new dad, it’s been pretty important for me to get to a good start on things with my son.  One area in particular that I feel is important to get off to a great start on is reading to my son.  The last couple of weekends, I’ve managed to read my son some [...]

Reading With A Newborn

With my son now being a month old (I can’t believe how quickly the month has gone by!), I’m beginning to really see just how much time I have available to actually sit down and read.  In the month since my son arrived, I have managed to finish one book that I started since he was [...]

After A Brief Hiatus, I’m Back!

It’s been a couple of weeks since I last posted here on Beltwayliterature.  As I mentioned in my last post, Last Weekend Of Free Reading?, that I felt, with our baby getting closer to arrival, that it could quite possibly be my last weekend of free reading.  Well, that certainly has been the case!  On [...]

Sunday Debate – Whether To Read Richardson’s Clarissa

It’s a beautiful Sunday morning here in the DC area today!  I hope it’s as nice everywhere else!  This week, I feel I’ve gotten a lot of reading accomplished by completing my journey with Hammett’s The Maltese Falcon and completing Charles Dickens’s Bleak House for an online read-along.  I also decided to make a return trip to Westeros by [...]

Entering The Home Stretch

As I wake up to another beautiful late Spring Sunday morning here in Northern Virginia, I take a look at my reading accomplishments in April and I realize that it’s not overly all that exciting, and I really didn’t get too much accomplished.  That’s okay though, as I realize we’re entering the home stretch with [...]

A Weekend Without Reading

Good Sunday Morning! What a week and weekend it has been! This past week, I really haven’t gotten very much reading done as we’ve had family trickling in for my wife’s baby shower which was yesterday afternoon. So our home has had as many as 20 people in it n the last 72 hours. The [...]

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter Sunday all!  It’s a beautiful day here in Northern Virginia, and He has risen!  This week has been a slow reading week for me to begin the month of April.  I only managed to complete my weekly reading for the Bleak House read-along and managed to make my weekly post the other day.
