PIRATES (who read)

Literature Ahoy! April 23, 2009

Welcome, ye fellow bloggers (and pirates)!

As you may or may not know, we pirates get a little bored sometimes. I mean, a lot of what we do is sailing about, looking for likely vessels to plunder. We drink a lot of grog. We often have to park the ol’ boat at the nearest group of shoddily constructed houses and get some of the crew treated by the local crazy old medicine woman for scurvy and goiters and the like. But the rest of the time?

We read, friends. We read.

And we’ve been terribly inspired by all of your book blogs! Now that we can get teh intertronz pretty much anywhere, we’ve been RSSing that shit all over the place. We even took a gander at a library and finally renewed our card so that we could take out ever-growing stacks of books to share among the crew members.

Now we’ve decided to swab the decks of our brains, so to speak, and share with you all of our cherished knowledge.  Clearly we are the prime candidates for a book blog of our very own – being pirates, we sure get around! Sadly, we only have one artistic crew member, who is currently occupied with the prisoners guests of honor down in the hold, so I don’t have my own header yet. Have patience, me hearties! The time will come.

Signing off for now, this is your Captain,
