Book Club?
« on: October 03, 2009, 03:31:48 PM »
Does anyone know of a good book site, one that actually reads and discusses?  I read mostly history, some fiction, but never ever romance.
Thanks!

You could try Book Crossing, they have a forum  http://www.bookcrossing.com/forum
I used to be quite active in this but haven't been to a meetup in years, I should get started again.

We might harrass the mods into setting up a section on the site.  I know we could get Frank in on it.
