Insight From The Sightless

In hopes of uniting readers with those books that cannot be put down, I present Insight From The Sightless, a blog composed of reviews of books, both good and bad, that I've read, since 2009 when I began tracking my literary consumption. As I average six books a week, ranging from non-fiction to SF, , most topics of interest to me and my readers should be well represented. If you have reads you'd like to recommend, please do leave your ideas with your comments.

About Me

Spencer McLean
Hi: I'm Spencer McLean. I'm an author, a thinker, an idealist and a Romantic. Check out Evan, my first novel. This is my book blog. Though I began tracking my book consumption so as not to forget my adventures in literature, I maintain it now in the hopes that others read this space and find something they too would like. And if that helps spread the word about great works, all to the good. If you have any suggestions of books you think I might like, feel free to pass them along. Always open for a new experience.
