Monty

Welcome to BookTalk!

You say you are looking forward to our book discussions...welll...we are in one right now. During the months of January and February we are reading Howard Blooms "Global Brain" and discussing it on the message boards. There is a forum specifically for discussing the book already created, so feel free to get involved. :)

Howard Bloom will be coming back to chat with us during the first week in March, but you will want to read the book so you can really enjoy the chat session. There are links to Amazon.com all over the main site if you need to order the book. I look forward to getting to know you Monty!

Chris

Monty

Judging by the content of the URL you referenced, you'll fit right in here, I'm sure. Anyhow, I'm glad to see you here and look forward to hearing more about your philosophic ideas.
