| This is an add on (i.e., join in only if you would like) for Summer reading. The Help by Kathryn Stockett is skyrocketing up the bestseller lists and creating a stir. The object is to read it during June and we will start discussion as you finish, but no later than July 1, 2009.

| This area is for members to swap books on various categories. PLEASE, no commercial anything here. This is just to pass on books (and receive them too) to keep the costs of the WRRC down. The terms, postage, etc., are a private matter between the giver and receiver.

| This is the place to just chat about books in general, whether they were read (or not) in conjunction with the WRRC. It would be a good place to post an inquiry about something you are thinking for reading on a category and would like opinions.
