[close] Each month a theme will be set with a suggested book for each age group (adult, young adult, 8-12 years, young children). You do not have to stick to your age group, it's just to provide a little something for everyone. Some months adult themes may be included, there will be a warning given prior if this is the case. If you add a book to the tbr please let a moderator know the key themes, genres and age range that it falls under.

[close] It is extremely hard to for indie-authors to get reviews for their eBooks, even if it is a great read. Finding reviews is especially difficult when the eBook is short, even though short eBooks can be totally awesome! Texan Resolutions, LLC can help you get a review for your eBook. Please visit this link for details: http://www.texanresolutions.com/for-authors. Basically, for a small fee, our representative (John M. Beaman) will read your eBook and post the review on the eBook’s Amazon and Goodreads pages. Moreover, we do not post bad/scathing reviews – if the review does not meet a certain threshold, we contact you directly and help you improve your work. Also, if you need your short (less than 50 pages) nonfiction eBook edited, please contact us at jbeaman@texanresolutions.com. We offer an editing service at $3.00 per page (many other editors charge $10.00 per page or $0.02 per word, which is significantly more). The purpose of the editing service is to improve grammar, style, appearance, and professionalism. Please note that we are not responsible for any citation errors as the responsibility of proper citation rests with the author.

[close] Study and discussion of the important questions of ethical and political philosophy from Confucius and Socrates to the present. Rules (see also the Rules and Housekeeping topic): Subject to copyright law and these rules, posters may cite, link, or quote any publication, including their own. Posts linking to outside sources must contain a brief explanation of the nature of the linked material and, unless obvious, how it is relevant to the topic being discussed. All posts and linked material must be in English. Posts and any linked material should be polite and not degenerate into ad hominem attacks. The purpose here is to seek light, not heat—rational discourse, not shouting matches. Leave your cable news persona at home and put on your philosopher's mantle when entering this group. Rational argumentation and Socratic questioning are welcome. Hectoring, intimidation, insult, and presumptuous condescension toward other group members are cause for immediate removal from the group. Internet "trolls," advocates of violence, and posters failing to comply with these rules will be removed from membership, as will posters who persist in raising issues that are outside the scope of the subject matter of this group. New members may introduce themselves in the New Member Introductions topic. See posts 4-5 here regarding the creation of new topics.
