[close] Remember when literature died after 1930 because of radio and then TV and then VCRs and then the internet? I don't either! Let's explore together... Basically, I've noticed that all the really great books came out in the 20s. So I plan to read a) only books from the 1920s for 13 months starting Christmas week 2012 and ending the third week of January 2014, or b) 13 books from the 1920s over the course of 2013. Join me!

[close] "On paths unknown, we tread with wonder. Through a glass darkly, to brave new worlds and beyond we go." We seek to explore and do critical reading from any genre on challenging literature, both new and established, that links into themes of exploring ideas relating to various aspects of culture, society and technology, as well as what is loosely called 'literary fiction'; and in addition, non-English translated literature from around the world. We also discuss classics as well as avant-garde literature from all eras inasfar as they have challenged the world around them. Wherever necessary to give more background knowledge, discussion of non-fiction books are welcome. The idea is to provide not only a forum for discussion, but a database of book-ish information for the eclectic reader. Our threads all remain open indefinitely, so you can browse through and read and/or contribute at your own leisure.
