Boxall's 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die discussion

Hi Kristin

Ask your library for an interlibrary loan of these two books. There is usually a small fee involved, but it is so much smaller than paying full price for a book - and cheaper than buying 2nd hand. When you request a book via interlibrary loan, your library will find out which of the libraries in their network has the book and will request it on your behalf. Your library will have to renew on your behalf and will also return the book. You can also find out which library closest to you has the book by searching Worldcat at: http://www.worldcat.org/ Good luck! Catherine

Is this the place to ask questions. I am new to the group. Just to be clear, April 15, is this the date we begin reading or have the book read.

it is the date the discussion starts so you probably should have it read by then, or just avoid reading or commenting on the discussion until you are done
