Our colleague Dan has started up his own blog about reading, and my favorite part so far is the way that he describes the feeling of being alone with whatever book he's reading. It reminds me that a passion for reading is primarily about the pleasure a good book brings on so many levels. Dan gives that sensory, tactile experience of reading the book, unlike reviews I've read before, which focus more on the practical. I think Dan's approach makes for better writing on his end and for a better sense of what might motivate you to pick up the particular book and keep your nose in it.
It also doesn't hurt that his most recent entry covers Danny the Champion of the World, one of my favorite childhood books, written by my hands-down favorite childhood author, Roald Dahl.
