I think that the idea of a read-along is a good Idea. But I am still a little bit unsure on how it completely works. If and when we begin a read along so we post it under this discussion tab? Or are we supposed to label and follow through with it using the new topic label?

Simply when two or more people read the same book, at the same time, and discuss it as they read.

This thread will allow you to look for interest in whatever book you want to have a read-a-long of, and (hopefully) find other members who want to read it along with you!

So post something along the lines of, "I want to read *blank*, is there anyone who'd like to read it with me?"

Once you have another person (or other people), schedule the date you want to start reading, and create your thread.

Just remember, these will be discussions of the entire book. There will be spoilers, so don't click on a random thread if you haven't read the book!


Please include the title and author when suggesting a book, so that other members can look the book up.

Only suggestions with the title and author will be added to the list.



*Members of the Review Team should note that if you are actively reviewing a book for the site, even if there is a read-a-long happening for it, you should not post to the thread/read the thread.

I have already started on The Power Broker: Robert Moses and the fall of New York by Robert Caro. I would really love to read along with someone. It's quite a long book (almost 1400 pages long) and won t's author he Pullitzer in 1974. It's a work of non-fiction and an unauthorized biography of Robert Moses.

It should be right by, or above when I'm on my phone, the search this forum box. It is not. I'm not in this thread I'm actually out on the forum where it shows three announcements and no topics.

I would like to read The Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler. Is there anyone who is also interested in reading this book.
