A few chapters in and I can truly tell that my reading muscles are a little out of shape. I guess it is true what they say, "You either use it or you lose it!" I am looking forward to getting back into "shape" this year and I think we have some great reads ahead of us. I will be back to comment on this months bok when I can. Good reading everyone.

I've determined that everybody is really busy attending functions related to Black History month and that is why nobody is posting thoughts about the books. That said, has anyone read or began reading The Picture of Dorian Gray? If so, let's discuss.
Is Lord Henry a voice of reason in the book? Why or why not? He also said, “It is only the intellectually lost who ever argue.” Do you agree?
Also, are we wholly different than Dorian Gray? Do we not all have thoughts of staying young or returning to ou youths? In societal terms, do we not have a countless number of “age-defying” products? How else does our society encourage the idea that we should not grow old?
