    Welcome to the group based on the book 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die.
    There is a general explanation of the group under the discussion thread GROUP GUIDELINES.
    The books of the month (BOTM) that the group is reading are pinned to the top. May BOTM are;
    1. Choke by Palahniuk, Chuck
    2. Dr. Zhivago by Boris Pasternak
    3. Titus Groan by Mervyn Peake
    4. Works of Poe
    We are also starting something new. It will be a Long Read consisting of books from the list that are greater than a 1000 pages. The group will be starting with War and Peace by Tolstoy.
    Hope you can join in one or all the discussions.

    Hey Diana,
    How is your writing going? I've been so busy with school and work these days...haven't gotten much writing done. I'm also at what one calls a writers block or I've lost he will to write. Guess I feel descouraged when nothing comes to mind.
    Do you ever fall in these writers blocks? If so what do you do about it?

    An YOU havn't read all of the Dubliners! Not even The Dead, so, don't put it up! It is not right! At least, put in the "I plan to read" shelf!

    P.S.: "you" is in capital letters because of the accusatory tone. how literary is THAT!? :P

    Haha, it seems like you did enjoy the book. I'm really excited to read it.

    I read Common Sense for school. I think what's most important when reading this book is understanding the context in which it was written and what the United States experienced during those years. Some of the ideas although simple, were very profound for the period. I actually enjoyed the pamphlet because of what it represents and for its significance in history. If you get a chance to read it, please let me know what you think :)
