[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.

[close] Welcome to Book Chat! Instead of being about a particular book, author or genre this group is about books and reading in general. Discussions have covered a wide variety of topics, from bookmarks, to book type preference (paperback, hardcover or trade paperback) to book-to-movie tie-ins, to where and when you read and even what started you reading. Please limit your Self-Promotion, Giveaways, Offers to the folder set up for that purpose. In addition to our Monthly Thread, our Admins randomly choose a Themed Read with the person(s) reading & reviewing the most books winning a book of the same Theme! During the Winter Holidays we may have a Secret Santa (where we will exchange gently used books) and a Calendar Swap. If you have nothing to read, we have an on-going Book Swap that anyone may partake of. We have some fun new projects starting and we hope you will join us. Feel free to pop-in and have a look around. We would love to have you join us for some discussion and fun.

[close] Hard Boiled detective novels, noir, and great crime novels (old and new)
