[close] Hello fellow book lovers. Our friends have been pressuring us to start a club for speed reading for some months now and we FINALLY have the time to kick it off!!!! About us: Two college friends who love to books, music, and good food (and in that order). We took some speed reading classes a year or so again and now we're racing each other through books-whoever loses buys dinner which we have monthly. We wanted to put a group together for anyone who needs a little motivation to reach any of your yearly (or any other time increment) goals-of course this excludes the dinner obligation.

[close] (This is a rp group) The commerce capital of the free world, New York City has some very interesting places- and some very interesting people. Do you see that man with crazy, greying hair, dressed in a suit and running across Lincoln Center? That's Ludwig van Beethoven, currently the conductor at the Metropolitan Opera House. And do you see the college professor with the pin of a knight and an age-old manuscript under his arm? That's Giuliano de' Medici, who was assassinated in 1478. All of these people should be dead, but how are they alive? It's your turn to add someone to the mix... Follow the Mod's Pinterest Page!
