[close] This group is for enthusiastic people seeking a different type of reading challenge. Rather than tallying how many books you read, keep track of what you read and how many pages are in each book you finish. It's easy-start a thread with your name in the title (and make sure to bookmark that thread for later) and then as you finish a book, jot down the title, author and number of pages in the thread. As you add books, also track the grand total of pages you've read so far. You can set a goal of how many pages you want to read in a year, or just see how far you can go. Best of all as Goodreads usually lists how many pages are in each edition of a book you don't have to join at the start of the year-you can jump in any time and go back and add up everything you've already read so far. Of course you are always welcome to discuss anything else you'd like-start a thread about it! And make sure to comment on others' lists if you're of a mind to. Remember to add your books to the group shelf and have fun! Bookworms! welcomes new authors-tell us about your book! However discussing the same topic again and again is called spamming. I understand if you have a book you want to sell or a story you want to tell. But repeated posts regarding that book or story when you in no other way contribute to this forum tells me that, sadly, you might be happier posting somewhere else.

[close] Most of the world's modern thinkers and leaders started with a classical education. Our own Founding Fathers drew inspiration from the works of Plato, Cicero, Plutarch, Tacitus, Montesquieu, and Machiavelli to only name a few. They focused on big ideas and, on this board, we will too. Each month we will aim to cover a work or partial work included in the Great Books of Western Culture. Through discussion I hope to grow in understanding, conviction, and confidence in our beliefs outside the realm of party politics, religion, or other modern institution. Feel free to invite others, and welcome to the Great Conversation.
