If memory of my English Literature from 1660-1900 class is correct, a commonplace book was created back at the time when coffee houses were first starting to become popular. The books were a place for people to write down their favorite quotes and observations so they can share them with others. I had to keep one for several of my college courses and have continued the practice since.
While thinking about what I want to accomplish with this blog I thought this would be a perfect forum for a commonplace book. To that end, I will most likely be posting about my observations of the world around me, as well as my favorite quotes and information about what I'm currently reading.
