I feel like I have literally struck gold. Sam Harris has a beautiful site with a massive message board. Over 1200 members keep it moving and lively.

When I have a few minutes I will be joining over there and trying to draw a few of them to BookTalk. Maybe I'll get Sam Harris to make a post or two here. And any of you that want to help in this effort please feel free. ::146

Here is the forum!

Thanks. :) I think having those pics there makes the books a little more real. Seeing the authors reminds us that these books are the hearts and souls of real people.
