[close] When life is too much, a great way to get out of things is to escape into a book. This is the premise under which The Escapists: A Book Club was formed. Formerly the Dailies Monthly Book Club (something that has faded away with Dailies on Open Diary), The Escapists will still hold many of the same tenants as the DMBC, but we will be adding some new twists to enhance your escape. Guidelines: 1. Each month a book or book theme will be listed. A poll will be listed mid-month to help select which book/theme will be used the following month. 2. Every 4 months a set of challenges will be listed. 3. You have a choice of reading the monthly chosen book/a book that fits the theme and/or participating in the 4-month challenge. 4. When choosing a book, there is no set page length. 5. When you have chosen your book, please make a thread for discussion and try to encourage discussion by posting your review of the book in that thread. 6. Make sure to respond to other people who are participating.

[close] Bibliophile (n.) a lover of books; an obsessive collector. Logophile (n.) a person who loves words. Hello, welcome! I've always really enjoyed groups on Goodreads, but I have never really stayed active for a long time. Most of the times I was active for around a month, maybe two, but then I just wouldn't ever be active again. So, I decided to make my own group. Not just because of that, but also because I have a few things I love doing in these groups, but not one group has it all. Making my own group would obviously solve that, haha. I really hope people are actually going to join this so we can make a new, fun community!

[close] Where we explore literature to enhance our own writing abilities by discussing great books of yesterday and today trying to find what is said between the lines.
