Rick Hoyt-McDaniels

Unitarian Universalist Minister

Category: Book Diary

I read a lot. Mostly fiction. I love literature. I try to read the best. Classics more than popular bestsellers. I like the way one novel will lead me to the next, how, (in the way of all great art) novels will reference other novels, or at least make me think of others. Since July 2020 I’ve made it a practice to write a post about every book I read. If you’d like to see if I’ve read a particular book, click on the Reading List for an alphabetical list by author’s last name.
