"When you sense a faint potentiality for happiness after such dark times you must grab onto the ankles of that happiness and not let go until it drags you face-first out of the dirt--this is not selfishness, but obligation."

    Welcome to the group based on the book 1001 BOOKS YOU MUST READ BEFORE YOU DIE.
    

There is a general explanation of the group and some answers to FAQ under the discussion thread GROUP GUIDELINES. The past BOTM (books of the month) can be found pinned to the top for 2010 and 2009 if you want to search discussions you can join in anytime.
    

Our April BOTMs are: 

    1. Bleak House by Charles Dickens

    2. Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad
    
3. White Noise by Don DeLillo 


    Please join us in one or all. The discussion questions are posted and pinned to the top of the discussions. 
If you read another book from the one of the official lists please post a review and rating in the discussion thread for other books.

    Welcome to Good Reads, Regina. We are glad you joined and want to encourage you to participate.

    The group profile should give you some idea of how Good Reads works, and the shelf provides a list of books we have read. For example, last month we read and discussed Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand; this month we will be reading and discussing Border Songs by Jim Lynch.

    Please feel free to post to any of the older book discussions as well as the new discussions; and don't forget to vote for your favorite candidate for the May read.

    hi regina,

    We're discussing "The Historian" by Elizabeth Kostova at the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf cafe - Mall of Asia on Sept 13 (Sat) at around 5pm, when everyone has (let's hope) finished browsing at the Manila International Book Fair.

    ... kwentuhan lang naman. details at http://www.shelfari.com/groups/12439/discussions/65122/(unofficial)-book-discussion-in-September.

    hope to see you there!
