Fun Discussions


First, I have discussions which encourage us to dig deeper in specific books. Sometimes a mere review falls short of what they deserve, since there's so much more that could be said, which may include plot spoilers. So here are discussions for those times when I ramble on more about characters, settings, comparisons, styles, moods, or any other number of things on my mind.
