Welcome to The Rampant Reader!

Hello everyone! I am glad that you have found my blog. I just wanted to give you a little more in depth idea of what the show is about and who I am.

My name is Rizzo Johnson and I am a graphic designer running my own company Rizzo Designs. You can visit my website @ RizzoDesigns.daportfolio.com to see more.

I have been an avid reader for a very long time and have read many books in my life. I enjoy talking about the plots, character developments and themes involved in all books. Authors reflect the world the live in in their writings, it's an inescapable fact of writing. What are social concerns in their world and what their character face are reflecting what is important at the time of writing. I think about these things and the impact that books have on cultures around the world. Sharing these thoughts, opinions, and ideas is important for human development. This project is to strongly encourage critical thinking and promoting READING!

There will be a book list available so that you can read along with me and share your thoughts and opinions! This is a show and blog combo where we can talk on both YouTube and Blogger on discussing the stories.

Thanks for reading!

  3. First, nice looking blog!
    I'm looking forward to your posts, I think this is the first book blog I've come across and I love reading, although I don't read as much as I should do. I like the idea of a read-along, that might make me read a bit more. Can't wait, let's do it!

  4. I read far too much. Just bought a Sony Reader so I can read 4 books a week on the fly. I will follow this blog with interest.

  5. @Guy Fawkes: Thanks! I'll do my best!

    @Erika: Nice to meet you too!

    @Alexis: I noticed that there was a deficiency in book blogs too. And I feel this will fit that spot perfectly!

    @Harlequin: Let me know how that Sony Reader works for you! I am looking at eReaders at the moment and will purchase one most likely in the next 6 months.

    Keep looking for updates here throughout the week! I'll be getting new things up all the time.
