When I was young, and so much younger than today, I used to make notes about all the books I read. Mainly that was because I was an English major, and it was kind of required. Now, however, I'm almost sixty-four (that's enough Beatles references, ed.), and I can't remember anything. Which is why I've decided to put my thoughts about each published book I read from now on on-line, so I won't forget. You're welcome to check in if you want, and subscribe and all that malarkey. It's Martin's Random Reviews, and I begin with The Bridge.
