History

[close] #History #SyntopicReading #HeavyReading Reading several books about one topic together at a time. Based on researches into the human mind, this strategy is widely adopted in various areas, in the classroom and outside the classroom. In particular, this group reads book about history. (Looking for moderators NOW. If anyone wants to join, PM me for more details.)

[close] Click HERE for the latest group announcements. "It reminded me of ____ but in space." "I read ____ in high school, and actually liked it." "It's like a cross between ____ and ____ with a little Harry Potter thrown in." "YOU'VE NEVER READ ____?!?" You know the drill. Your friends reference it, your husband/wife/boyfriend/girlfriend/"sort of thing?" raves about it, even your favorite movies quote it, or it IS your favorite movie but you've never read the book. This group is for those of us for whom one of the following may apply... - we have finally developed a taste for reading and are severely behind on classics; - we kindaaa, sortaaa, but actually slept through English class in high school and used Sparknotes/Hollywood remakes to write our book reports; - we buy a book that everyone is talking about and it sits on our shelf, and sits there... and sits there; - we've heard the hype and are finally getting around to reading the actual book; - we want to expand our horizons beyond the single genre we usually read and want to do so with some time-tested material; - we just plain old want to get everyone off our backs for not having read _____. Every month we'll choose three books to read: 1) a classic (that everyone has probably read but us), 2) a "modern" classic or popular book that everyone is talking about, and 3) a bookshelf catch-up in which we choose a book the group has already read to catch-up with other members.

This is a book club where we can share our current reads in ebooks, regular books, audiobooks, graphic novels,etc. We believe reading is fun and the aim of our book club is to help enrich your love of books, and create an environment where people can discuss their thoughts on books in a warm, friendly, inviting atmosphere, while finding great book recommendations.
