Are you leading a book discussion?
I’d like to start compiling a list of book discussions taking place in Second Life. It often takes several days/weeks to complete a book in time for a discussion, so I think having a list would be helpful. If you have an discussion taking place, please contact me in world or by email at kghia.gherardi at gmail.com.
