I mostly read fiction but get on biography kicks now and then. I was a history major at GVSU and sometimes catch used textbooks for sale and read those. I miss being in school. I am currently reading the Irish Country D on the 5th book. I really like them. Before that I read The Hunger Games series. It is young adult, but very good.
Hello, my name is Ben and I am an English Education major at MSU. I don’t have a lot of time to read for myself during the school year, but during the summers it’s all about me. I am looking to talk with others about books and supplement my library and brain.
Hello Fellow Great Lakes Book loversMy name is dk Levick and I’ve lived in Canton, Michigan for the past 7 years. I was born and raised in Western New York (Go Sabres!) and lived in Niagara Falls for over 40 years. I love the Niagara River — both upper and lower.I’ve written a novel titled: «Bridges — a Tale of Niagara» which is listed with Goodreads.It is a story of 5 young men who venture out onto the ice bridge of Niagara Falls in the winter of 1962 and their journey to get back out. Along the way there are four historical stories of the river that you will find interesting and entertaining.Look forward to reading your selections on the Great Lakes and discussing them with you.
I’d love to read and discuss the Hemingway story Chuck suggested and posted a link to

There is a book by a local author in the West Michigan area about a family that moves from New York to help settle the West Michigan area and the adventures they have on the way. It is called Ellie. It was pretty good.

Hi everyone,I’m iliarizing myself with Goodreads and this is my first group. I’m a life-long Michigander and love all things Michigan including our literary heritage. I’m a writer, I live in Traverse City and this is definitely reading season up here right now — we have SO much snow. Anyone else up for it?
Hi Mardi,I’m also interested in participating in this group and think the Hemingway book would be interesting. I haven’t seen much activity on this group but am very interested in participating.
Hi, my name is Julie and live in Rochester Hills. I have lived in Michigan my whole life and my daughter says I’m «addicted to reading.» I love my Kindle, but still read «real» books from the library and always have a book on CD going in my car!
So I started this Michigan Reads group about 4 years ago. We had very few members and little involvement, but we have continued to grow and I’ve noticed a bit of participation. Shall we read? We have a fourth Great Michigan Read book that has just been selected for next year’s related events and there is recent release titled, «Say Nice Things About Detroit». Also, if you are interested in sharing the moderator job please let me know and I can add you to that role.
