Last week I started reading Ann Patchett's Bel Canto. The writing was fine, and the force behind the story - terrorism - was very current.

I got about 20 pages in, put it down, and picked up the last issue of The New Yorker. Inside were excerpts from the diary that Mavis Gallant kept while living as a starving artist in Europe in the 1950s. A friend once said of her short stories: "I feel that she's trying to see how many times she can work in the word 'concierge.'" But I devoured her diary in a way I hadn't Patchett's novel. It was evocative, searing, pitiless, real.

I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was curious what all is required to get
setup? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would
cost a pretty penny? I’m not very internet savvy so I’m not 100% certain.

Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Hmm it looks like your website ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I’ll just
sum it up what I had written and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog.

I too am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to the whole thing.
Do you have any suggestions for novice blog writers? I’d definitely appreciate it.
