Once upon a last week, two recent graduates decided they wanted to read something other than romance novels for a change (or not...). So we're starting this group in hopes of finding other people with a passion for reading, and a willingness to embark upon a most ambitious quest: to read as many of the "top 100 novels" as we possible can. However we don't want to limit ourselves to just those - we hope to explore, examine, and be entertained by all different types of genres. There is no limi …

After this group was begun by another organizer, I took over in the spring of 2012 so that a group of individuals who enjoy reading can share ideas. It's interesting to hear different view points from the group about the people's/character's personalities, the settings, and the topics in general. We have had some great discussions about the author's craft. In the past we have drifted toward biographies; any titles and suggestions from the group are welcome!  Debbie Parker
