Mission:

People in this group all share the belief that talking about the questions, reactions and ideas we have when we read a book is a fabulous way to better understand what's going on. It may not make you love or hate a book more, but it'll certainly help you see why others do. We disagree often, but share a strong respect for differing opinions. In short, we are a group of friendly readers sharing our thoughts so that we might become better at reading and discussing books.

We read and discuss one book from the first to
end of the month. The Book Group List was established in 1996.
