[close] This is a group were everyone is welcomed first and foremost. This is a brand new group and I hope to get others to join and participate so that I becomes we. I would like to explore novels of epic journeys (Lord of the Rings, Lonesome Dove, Pillars of the Earth, ect.). Of course all books should be considered and shorter reads are welcomed. I will put up a list of books that reflect my interests, but I am open to other suggestions. I look forward to meeting you and the discussions to be had in this group. Feel free to make suggestions for books that interest you and/or challenge others to see the world differently.
