The Beginning of the Journey (first posted: 12/1/09)

esterday we had our first gathering for the 2010 Common Reader selection.  We had a good group - even Moore County came down to join us - what fun!
We've selected five books to read and discuss for next year's selection.  We had a good discussion about each of them and we hope to continue that discussion here.
Our first book to read will the The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien.  Here's a brief glimpse at the resources already online for this book.
