Analysis

[close] This is a group for those who might possibly enjoy taking time to understand and talk about certain works, and perhaps apply it to one's own creative endeavors. Hopefully, some of you like these genres: mythology, fantasy, history, poetry, literature, folklore. Discussions will center around character development, story line and writing style, literary devices, and context and theorizing. Note: Anyone from anywhere is welcome here! Just follow the rules and be thoughtful of others.

[close] Whether you like to analyse or criticize books then this group is for you. Welcome to the Summary Analysis Group. Feel free to talk about any book that you feel needs discussion.

[close] Psychology, culture, and society are revealed many times in American novels. Modern libraries contain a broad, rich selection of fiction that allows readers to see the past, the present, and the future. Critical American Literature is for friends of valuable books, and discussions of valuable ideas.

[close] Let's Share Ideas about Reviews! This is a fun and encouraging forum for sharing discussions about writing any sort of review, whether just a Simple Review, or a Kick-A** Review, or anything, really, beyond just a rating. We want to encourage newbies to feel confident to voice their thoughts about all kinds of books, and we want to share tips to help experienced reviewers who are looking for a bit of a boost. *All* are welcome to offer opinions; we can *all* learn from each other. Our focus is, of course, reviews for GoodReads. In some ways these sometimes differ from reviews for blogs, and certainly from 'professional' reviews. But we hope to share ideas applicable to all.
