I miss this challenge and as I near the finish of the biographies challenge I find I want to do another.  Is anyone else interested?  If so, let's put together listings that make sense for us.  I'm envisioning a mini challenge at this point.

I think we will have to acknowledge that this forum is pretty much dead. you notice my post was the twelfth person to look at your post in the last 5 days. not exactly a lively place.

I'd participate!  I liked last year's and I read a lot of nonfiction that isn't biography. Some science, history, how-to, religion/philosophy, current events, etc...

Reading Deep Down Dark about the Chilean mining disaster.  I could see it fitting here.

I think this forum is dead only if we let it be dead.  Susan, if you and I are the only people to participate so be it.  Maybe eventually we'll get others to be involved too.  Some of my finest reads are nonfiction.  What categories would you like to read?  How Many categories should we tackle?

REK, I sent you a PM, but basically, include history and I'm good with a wide variety of categories.
