This group is for those who love reading and watching movies (and eating while discussing them). We want to read great books and watch great films across genres and cultures--and then talk about how they make us think and grow.

All Group Members will have a vote--majority will rule on what we read and watch in what order! Here is a link to the lists: http://www.1001befor …
