tobookclubOur selected book for February-March was Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book. Now it's April. Do you have anything to say about The Jungle Book before we move on? Did you end up reading it all? Did you think that it had much of anything to do with therianthropy?
Is there a book on the list that you would like to read together next for April to May? You make the selections for the poll this time. Suggest anything at all from the book list.
In other news: you may remember that a while ago, I mirrored my Otherkin and Therianthrope Book List onto LibraryThing.com, making an Otherkin and Therianthrope Book List on LibraryThing. It's interactive, so you can sort and search for books according to title, author, tags, and so on. Each book has a page of social information about it.

cryptodragon gifted me with a paid lifetime account on LibraryThing.com, so now I have access to a few more features. (Thanks, Crypto!) One of the features is that I can list as many books as I like. (The free accounts are limited to listing 200 books at most.) Accordingly, I've made the book list there much longer. I've added a lot of books that people had suggested, but I was unsure about their appropriateness for the list. I also added some possibly-appropriate books that I stumbled across in browsing LibraryThing. LibraryThing is very handy for finding books of interest to you because it can examine the books that you've liked, compare it to similar books that other people have liked, and then it suggests some books you've never heard of that end up being the very thing you'd like.
lupabitch created a book discussion group on LibraryThing.com on the subject of Otherkin and Therianthropy. She remarked to me that she was tired of waiting for me to create one there. She's set it up so that it links to the Otherkin and Therianthrope Book List as its website. Thanks, Lupa!
One advantage of group discussions on LibraryThing is that it's easy to link to a book: you just put the title in brackets, and the site figures out which book you mean. Then on a book's social information page, the page tells that the book has been talked about. The group automatically lists a combination of books that are most common among the group members. Creating a LibraryThing account is free, so please join on in.
