Old Books

[close] Goodreads is a great place to be exposed to a lot of different books. But what about the lesser known ones? The ones that used to be popular but no longer are. The ones that no one talks about? In this groups we read and discuss these books. Trying to resurrect them or at least bring them back into the light of day.

[close] The Actually Pretty Doable Summer Reading Challenge is just tough enough to be interesting without being boring. Basically, we'll each agree to read 10 books in 10 weeks. Of these 10 books, only 2 will have to meet certain requirements: one book must be over 500 pages, and another book must have been first published over 100 years ago. These may NOT be the same book (hence the "challenge"). Beyond these 2 restrictions, you may choose from any genre or form of literature you please. Each week participants will post the title of the book they are reading. You are encouraged to post updates as you go, but everyone is expected to leave a brief review after completing each book. Instructions: 1: Read 10 books between June 22 and August 31. 2: You must have one Long Book and one Old Book. Long Books are 500+ pages; Old Books are 100+ years old. These can NOT be the same book. 3: Post your final 10 book choices to the Discussion Board before June 22, 2013. 4: Leave a brief review of each book after you've completed it. 5: Do it again next summer!
