i have tried tho read the great gatsby 2 or 3 times and it is one of the most boring books i have read, now how do you like that for a great recommendation? i have heard so many great things about it i am hoping i am just not giving it a fair shake so would love to read it with the group and be obligated to finish it this time.

You have to be on a computer - not a phone or other app. When you are adding a comment, just above the text box there is a link that says "add book/author"...."

message 60: by Sam (new)

Generation Z by Shannon Lyndsy.Generation ZIts the most creative book I've read in a long time. Its about a group of HIV positive environmentalists who have contracted the disease in order to depopulate the planet and save Earth from more human harm.

It's pretty funny, in a dark, twisted way.
