Mainstream

[close] The purpose of this group, in short, is to point out books that have received more than 500,000 ratings on goodreads. Have you ever wondered what are the most popular books on goodreads? Perhaps you're well aware of the best books in your own genres, but want to branch out and aren't sure where to go? Goodreads has (as far as my research has determined) decided not to make books searchable by # of ratings. So here's my solution: Look at your own books. Sort by number of ratings. If a book on your list has more than 500,000 ratings, post it here. The benefit? Expanding our horizons- because half a million readers can't be wrong, right? We'll give it a trial run, and if it proves beneficial, hooray! If not, no harm done. Happy reading!

[close] Hello and welcome back! We're going to try this again! We will be reading one book per month. We will also have live chats on Google+. Please let us know what you want to read so that we can all enjoy our reading experience.

[close] -------------------------------------------- Are you curious about the books and authors Stephen King has enjoyed reading in the last 40 years or so? Would you like access to a list of these books and an opportunity to read and discuss them with others? If so, you are at the right place! At this time, the books open for discussion can be viewed by clicking the following link which will direct you to the head moderator's personal bookshelf titled "sai-king-recommends:" sai-king-recommends bookshelf . When available, the moderator has added all reviews and blurbs by Stephen King to her personal review of a book. These books have been accumulated by referring to Entertainment Weekly's Pop of King columns, book blurbs, the internet, and Stephen King's non-fiction books Danse Macabre, On Writing, and Secret Windows. The list is still growing. -------------------------------------------- Your Moderators Debra and Almeta
