I started Book to the Future in order to catch up on the many, MANY literary classics I'm embarrassed to admit I've never read. However, this doesn't mean I'm only reading "the classics" - really, I'll give anything a go.

Reading Interests

Book to the Future is more than just a blog: it's a journey through time. For the next two-and-a-bit years, I'll be reading and reviewing one book every week, risking life and limb to read great works of literature in the year they were first published. My journey began in the year 1900 - every week since, I move forward one year in the future, reviewing a book that first hit the shelves in that year. Confusing? Possibly. But if you like reading, time travel and nice, hot cups of tea, you'll love Book to the Future.

Books on the Grapevine

Focus

The blog developed out of our Brisbane based book club Reading Between the Wines. Although we have a fabulous book club we are still finding our blogging feet a little. We wanted to add something other than straight reviews since so there are already so many great bloggers who do that. We like books (and wine), and some of us like macs and gadgets too. There will be more posts coming in the next few months. In the meantime follow us on twitter @literarylines (because we like literary lines and fine wine! ).

Reading Interests

Literary fiction, short stories, occasionally non fiction and memoirs. Also interested in e-readers and the impact of technology on reading.
