World War I

[close] World War One serves as a boundary between the age of royalty and that of modernity. 2014 is the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of hostilities in the Great War. Join us as we explore the history of this epic event by reading the greatest books on the topic.

[close] We are currently part way through the Centenary of WW1 and during the remaining year of this anniversary, I want to read as much as possible about this period. From fiction, poems, non-fiction, plays and even graphic novels - there are so many angles and perceptions from which to read about this brutal yet important period of history. I find myself increasingly fascinated by history. Is it because as our elder generations move on, we become unconsciously worried that the next generation will never learn about the stories and the events that were important to their ancestors? Perhaps. I'm proposing to start reading a relevant book a month from September 2017 and in the meantime, I will start to compile reading ideas and seek to gain members who'd like to commemorate the Great War in this way.

[close] A place to discuss all the unique aspects of Deaf culture as highlighted in the thriller Silent Fear (A novel inspired by true crimes) by Lance & James Morcan. This group can also be an intersection of sorts where Deaf and hearing people can engage and learn from each other.
