What influences what you read and what does it say about you?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6052204448642991403-5611654423658494527?l=thebooklounge.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Taranoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6052204448642991403.post-54362652788392720972007-06-21T17:21:00.000-07:002007-06-21T17:24:51.899-07:00Fiction, spirituality, biography, personal development, business, revolutionary manifesto..... what books from what genres are you reading at the moment?<br /><br />Please share and tell us what you think of what you're reading - especially if you think it would make a great future book discussion for the book lounge.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6052204448642991403-5436265278839272097?l=thebooklounge.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Taranoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6052204448642991403.post-84533714733121005832007-06-19T20:56:00.000-07:002007-06-19T21:08:40.137-07:00The Book Lounge is like your very own book club only much, much better.<br />At any one time, the Book Lounge will have discussions going on mutliple books from different genres.<br />You will be given plenty of notice about upcoming book selections.
