True confession: I'm a fickle blog reader. Usually I'm a skimmer, and I've never been able to settle down. Sometimes after reading, I don't even remember the blog's name the next day.
"The Quivering Pen" has changed that. I found it only a few weeks ago, and now I look forward to it more than the NYT book review section. This evening I got on my computer with many good intentions: I would finally write a note to my niece, pay a bill, etc. Instead, I spent a very happy hour on The Quivering Pen, the creation of the talented David Abrams, who posts commentary and all kinds of interesting literary tidbits by himself and others.
