Short Stories

[close] For people interested in keeping up with the modern literary classics. We will be reading fiction and fine literature from 2000 to present, with the intent of finding those literary gems of timeless and enduring quality. We are not interested in reading the latest bestsellers, nor in discussing books already well-represented in other groups. Rather, our passion is to explore those works of fiction which stand a good chance of being remembered fifty years from now. In addition to seeking out books with literary merit, our secondary goal is to encourage lively, challenging, stimulating and thought-provoking discussions. If you are interested in going beyond bland and superficial discussions about the hottest book of the month, this could be the group for you.

[close] A place to discuss all the unique aspects of Deaf culture as highlighted in the thriller Silent Fear (A novel inspired by true crimes) by Lance & James Morcan. This group can also be an intersection of sorts where Deaf and hearing people can engage and learn from each other.

[close] The purpose of this group is to read and discuss one short story a week. For the the first couple of years, we read from specific anthologies, but from 10 November 2025, members can pick a week and pick a story to share. There is a link to each story in the discussion's opening post. You can drop in and out at any point, but we hope you enjoy participating in current - and even past - discussions. If you want to join, please answer the question you will see if using a browser. Private profiles that don't will be refused, as we want to get to know each other.
