    Hey! Thanks for accepting my request. :) I see you have Running With Scissors as a "favorite." It's one of my personal faves too! Have you ever read The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky? I studied literature in college and graduate school - so I appreciate it all; I hadn't read much gay literature until my senior year in college, and I've discovered a lot of great gay authors/novels recently - so I'm trying to play catch-up!

    Welcome to 1001 books. You can keep track of the books you have read from the book, 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die, join in the discussions on the books we are reading for the month (BOTM) or you can debate the merits of the list as some enjoy doing. We hope you will want to join in the choosing of BOTM and the discussions. The current books are pinned to the top for that month. There are older discussions that can be found by searching discussions. If there is any way the group administrator can help further feel free to ask one of us. If you don’t own the book the list can be found at the top in the group description or at http://www.listology.com/content_show.cfm?content_id=22845.

    Hi there! I'm just dropping by to welcome you to The 100+ Book Challenge. The idea of the group is pretty much self explanatory - try to read 100 or more books in a one year period. If you do have any questions, please feel free to send a message to me or Tenia. In the meantime, good luck reaching your goal!
