[close] We are 'Read Runners' - measuring our lives by pages read, books completed, and discussions had. Join us, if you enjoy reading - whether slow or quick, and if you like to discuss and put your points forward. We read a lot from different genres, and love to break out of our comfort zones and explore new books/authors through our group reads, buddy reads, and individual reads too. The single most important part of this group, its soul, are the members. And, we have a strong policy of respect for the individual and a zero tolerance approach towards bad behaviour. (Of course, thunder and lightning, and the hammer of Thor might strike you down as well!) Therefore, what we recommend is - Keep calm and read a book!
