    Thanks for joining the group! I look forward to your contributions. I have a feeling I might be seeing a Robert Ludlum post soon? Haha, thanks again!

    I started a group called Read-a-Likes, and I'm trying to get some active readers involved in the group to help create lists of, well, read-a-likes. The group is small as I just started it the other day and only have a few posts, but I'd really like to get some more active members that can help create these lists. I think that it would come in handy for other members that are looking for some helpful readers advisory. Check out the group if you're interested: http://www.shelfari.com/groups/26266/about (i think that might work, haha). Again, the group's name is Read-a-likes.

    Thanks

    Welcome to Better than Starbucks! Look around, make yourself at home, start a new thread or dig up an old one or just read and jump in on the more active ones.

    Dear LB,

    I’ve missed your participation at Anglophiles Anonymous. I hope it wasn’t something Mrs. Danvers said. Please do drop in – we’re attempting to determine our Top Ten Favourite British Novels, amongst other vital matters. And feel free to start your own discussion threads if none catch your fancy.

    Yours faithfully,

    Tinky

    Your books are really inspiring. I liked some of the Buddhist ones. You have a wide variety of taste! It's fun.

    Thanks for the note! I even noticed a book that we have in common- The World is Flat. I have to admit though, that I found the book tedious. In my opinion it could have been 15 chapters shorter. :) How do you find the time to add all of those books?
