24 Book Challenge + Chat 677 books / 100 members / 2383 posts The 24 Book Challenge group is currently at full capacity; thank you for your interest. "In the case of good books, the point is not how many of them you can get through, but rather how many can get through to you.", Mortimer Adler *This is a group for book lovers who prefer to take an under-promise and over-deliver approach to their reading. It's also for those of us who quake at the thought of "committing" to read 50 books in a twelve month period. The challenge: Set a goal for yourself to read and enjoy 2 books each month.(If 1 would be a s-t-r-e-t-c-h goal for you, that's great too! If you crave more than 2, go for it. It's your challenge :-) If you have been keeping track of all that you've read since January 2008, feel free to include those books towards your goal. If you haven't been keeping track, simply begin now. How it works: Put your name in the subject line of a new post, and start to add your book list. From that point on you can add to your list by replying to the first post in your thread. If you prefer to keep your thread free of others' questions or comments then you may want to include this request in your original post title (e.g. "No comments please"). If you would like questions or comments within your thread, why not include "Comments welcome" in the title? If you feel inspired to write mini-reviews or comments on any book in your list, please do. Whatever feels right for you! The group shelf:You are also invited to add your 24 + books to the group shelf. If you did write a comment or review please also add this to your book on the shelf. In an effort to keep things simple, we're only using the "Books We've Read" shelf. Please drop us a note if you have any questions or suggestions for improving the group. We'd love to hear from you!

Church Book Club Discussion 10 books / 7 members / 1 posts My group meets at St. John's Episcopal Church in Lafayette Indiana and our members select the reading choices. Here's last year's list February 20 -Quiet Strength: the Principles, Practices, & Priorities of a Winning Life by Tony Dungy. Dungy's words and example have intrigued millions of people, particularly following his victory in Super Bowl XLI, the first for an African American coach. How is it possible for a coach--especially a football coach--to win the respect of his players and lead them to the Super Bowl without the screaming histrionics, the profanities, the demand that the sport come before anything else? March 19 -Any Alexander McCall Smith title from the following: #1 Ladies Detective Agency Series The 44 Scotland Street Series The Sunday Philosophy Club Series The Professor Dr. Von Igelfeld Series [Leader: April 16th - Inspirational Poetry to Celebrate Poetry Month May 21 - Mountains beyond Mountains: The Quest of Dr. Paul Farmer, a Man Who Would Cure the World by Tracy Kidder. June 18th - Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson. “Three Cups of Tea is one of the most remarkable adventure stories of our time. Greg Mortenson’s dangerous and difficult quest to build schools in the wildest parts of Pakistan and Afghanistan is not only a thrilling read, it’s proof that one ordinary person, with the right combination of character and determination, really can change the world.” -Tom Brokaw.

Better than Starbucks… if you like good coffee, great books, sharp wit, and people who read 775 books / 1134 members / 12923 posts Better than Starbucks… if you like good coffee, great books, sharp wit, and people who read Shakespeare, Dickens, Twain, Marquez, Morrison, Joyce, Faulkner, Cather, Kingsolver and a few hundred other really delicious writers, not to impress strangers, but because they love a good read, then please join us. We are not a private group, but the administrators will not resist the urge to delete boring and stupid comments. By the same token, personal attacks on young, slow or otherwise disadvantaged players will not be tolerated. Generally, be nice to other members, but spare not public figures, pop lit superstars, big box stores, politicians and religious leaders. Focus more energy on what is good and even what is great, but feel free to throw a stone when the occasion calls for it. Welcome!
