History

[close] A Book Club Named Desire is a quest for knowledge and mastery of the subjects of desire, love, attraction, sex, eroticism, dating, relationships, and any other affiliated subject. Join the trek and read the current book(s), share your thoughts and observations along the way. Follow the trail of books already read, continue the discussions, and provide reviews and ratings. Help pave the way by recommending and voting on books to read. Forge a path and lead discussions on other books of your independent choosing, giving other members helpful guidance on what books they might read on their own journey. Books included will mainly be (but not limited to) non-fiction and include personal development and self-help; psychology and evolutionary psychology; practical guides and technique manuals; philosophy, history, spirituality; and classic literature and poetry. The book club is open to anyone (18+) of any gender and orientation who has interest in these subject areas and those who desire to improve their love/sex lives. Some books may be gender or orientation specific. The book club is moderated, however its operation and development is intended to be democratic and organic. All participation and contribution is welcome and encouraged.

[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.
