About BookTalk.org

BookTalk.org is an online book discussion group, also known as a "book club" or "reading group." We're dedicated to quality books, good people and great conversations. At BookTalk.org we read and discuss both fiction and non-fiction books, as a group, and then host live chats with the authors. Anyone is welcome to join as we're 100% free.

BookTalk.org NEWS

BookTalk.org maintained our forums on ezboard from May of 2002 through August of 2007. Ezboard served us well for all those years, but the time came for us to transition to a much more sophisticated forum system for our book discussions.

Our membership increased and we were in need of more bells and whistles than ezboard or even Yuku provided. So in late 2007 BookTalk.org made a major improvement and we now host our own forums.

The below Yuku forums are still open and anyone can read and make posts, but I strongly recommend you check out our new phpBB2.0 forums.

Visit our new forums!
