Why I read non-fiction…

I’m like many people: I’d like more time to read. I have an excuse many readers don’t have, though: I’m often writing fiction, articles for my blog (like this one!), and answering email correspondence relevant to my writing life. And while my Kindle tells me I read a lot, about a book a week for fiction, but I want more reading time.

I often review books I read, unless I can’t say anything good about them. (If it seems that will be the end result for a book, I won’t review it.) Other endorsement...
