About Me

Welcome to Book Ponder. I have enjoyed reading and writing for the majority of my life. I work for a hands-on blue-collar job, but consider myself a lifelong learner on the side. I enjoy reading many of the classics but also read something new if it’s recommended to me. I take extensive notes and save great quotes when I read and I plan to share those with you while also extracting lessons we can learn. I believe we can use the past to guide our future. I will try to post a couple of times a month, you can sign up for my newsletter with updates on new posts. I will never spam you, I hope to hear from you soon.
