I'm a newbie. Rambled across this site by accident when researching Harold Bloom. Found myself intrigued with the witty, provoking, creative energy here. Cheers!

I did a search in Ask.com for (i think) "Book Discussion" and BookTalk showed up on the first page.

Through a link on www.infidelguy.com. That site is a fantastic podcast. This site looks really great. I can't wait to delve further.

I am Patrick White fan and am going to take part in the Patrick White Readers Group. http://patrickwhite.ozewriters.com/

Then I realised that a more general online book club might be fun as well. Did a search on "online book club", found this page, and followed the link:

I typed "Book Discussions" in Google after finding that there existed forums like these from referencing books. I hope to gather new ideas and expand them with the help of other members of BookTalk.

Thank you!

I started being involved on the Barnes and Noble University site. I have visited several book discussion sites, but it is a little hard to establish repoire with groups that have been going for awhile. I was talking with a friend about wanting to become more involved with another group since Barnes and Noble has changed their format. My friend suggested this site and I have been reading several of the posts over the last couple of days. I like the format of this group and I like the interchange of ideas discussed. I am especially interested in many of the books you all choose to read and discuss. I will try to learn more about manuevering through your forums without too much disruption to the flow.

I found your link on the American Humanist Association website. I finished reading The God Delusion about a month ago, so this looked like the place for me. So glad to have found you - this looks great!::01

I work in a library, and I have to give a "book talk" at a meeting this week. So I googled "book talk" and it led me here. The books you talk about are just the kind I like to read.::125
