This weblog is going to be the first book-related weblog on Identity Theory, despite the fact that we are often grouped in the "literary weblog" category. Robert Birnbaum's
a reader's progress is categorized as a weblog but is actually more like a (rarely updated) reading journal. We have other
weblogs, but none contain much in the line of literary discussion.
"What We're Reading" (what you're reading) is a weblog about reading experiences. The contributors are Identity Theory staff members and some other fine, upstanding members of the literary community. You can even add a few posts if you
ask nicely.
Unfortunately, I don't have any compelling reading experiences for this inaugural post. Most of my books are in boxes lately since I've been moving. The majority of my reading in the past month has been
poker-related. I took in the entirety of A. Alvarez's
The Biggest Game in Town on a flight from Orlando to Austin and finished up Andy Bellin's
Poker Nation on the flight back to Florida. Look for complete reviews of those in our soon-to-be-launched poker section. The main non-poker book I've been reading off and on is
Susan Orlean's My Kind of Place, which is a pretty fun collection of travel stories. I plan on finally getting around to Chris Hedges'
War is a Force that Gives us Meaning next.
