Also, all previous reads threads are in the discussions. They are alphabetized mostly by book title. Just click on discussions on the top right of any group page and they all show up.

I just went through the bookshelf the week before last and hooked all those books up to folders, so that makes me happy that someone noticed/found it useful :)

[MK]

Ivona any book on our bookshelf is always eligible for nomination, but you may not know that 1984 just won the poll for the June reread. If you like feel free to nominate another choice.

[Ivona]

Thank you, I didn't know that. I would like to nominate Farenheit 451 then :)

[MK]

haha! Some of the earliest books do have sparse participation. Membership was smaller then. One reason why the "Revisit the Bookshelf" section was created - so we all, who joined later, could have a chance to read these great titles in a group setting :)

Hey, Cindy, welcome to the group :)

[Cindy]

Thank you,hope I can add something new to the group

[MK]

Cindy wrote: "Thank you,hope I can add something new to the group"

Me too! *grin*

heh,

On a more serious note, I'm sure you will. Everyone's voice has something to add, and all of it makes the book discussions more interesting. Love to read lots of points of view, see how others read the same thing I just read, get a different take on it, that sort of thing. It's interesting. I hope you enjoy yourself :).

[Shannon]

Second The Picture of Dorian Gray :)

[Paneret]

Second The Picture of Dorian Gray

[Andrea AKA Catsos Person]

Dorian Gray is very popular here!

[MK]

Just in case Elvira doesn't see the note Cindy left for her, on the Old School Classics, in time for the Revisit the Shelf thread ...

Elvira wrote: "...My nomination is "Treasure Island"."


In her place, I will nominate Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson :)

[Katy, New School Classics]

Ahhh, MK that is so nice.
