Maybe you’d like a little more motivation to get to books you’ve been meaning to read. Well, one possible solution is to join a group of fellow Spartans in a discussion group on Goodreads.com. You can click the link below, join Goodreads and join the group, and add to discussion topics already started, or start new topics of your own.
