[close] This group is for anyone who enjoys Non Fiction. Genres discussed here include Histories, Autobiographies, Biographies, Memoirs, Science, Travelogues, True Crime, and ... Please join us to find your next great book or to share your thoughts about one that you've enjoyed. Don't join this group to promote your work. Once in a while long-standing members may mention they have a book out, but this group is not to be used as a promotional tool. No harsh language please and be considerate of others.

[close] Welcome to the Roundtable Our passions include literary fiction, the classics, and serious non-fiction. In 2018 we've planned structured reads in the following categories: Classics, Author Reads, International Reads, Nonfiction, and Literary Prize winners. We’d love for you to participate in our “Roundtable Tournament” pitting our favorite books against each other to determine RT's "best book"! Or you can sign on for our yearly TBR reading challenge, the year-long International and/or Doorstop challenges, or revive the threads from past projects and group reads. The fine print: We're a smallish group, but active, and we'd like to have actively participating members. If you've been a member for more than four months without participating, we will assume that you are not interested in the group and you will be subject to deletion (one post after acceptance into the group is not considered active). This may take the form of participation in one of the structured features described above or something more free-form. While we've all got our guilty pleasures -- vampires in love, celebrity gossip, books from our childhoods -- these books don't fit with the group's vision and purpose. It's strictly "quality" writing for an adult audience; for us this means literary fiction, the classics, and serious non-fiction. We like to see a diversity of opinions about what we read and a strong passion for books is a plus. However, we ask that our group members keep it about the books; be respectful of others and refrain from the ad hominem. Finally, you'll see that we're a private group and you'll need to "apply" to join us. This means that we'd like a word from you about why you'd like to join and what you're hoping to get from a group. It also helps if we can see your shelves and your profile. If your profile is set to private, you will not be approved for membership in the group.
