We are excited to be adding another moderator to the group, in response to the growth and success of the Read a classic challenge. As such, I felt that it might be useful to offer little introductions from each of the three moderators. My cousin, Scott, had the idea for the challenge and manages the original Facebook site. To assist him and expand the challenge to more readers, I created the Goodreads group as a mirror site. As a result of the growth of the group in both venue’s (448 books read and 124,000 pages as of October 6th), we are adding a third moderator to assist with the growth. My friend, David, contributed a variety of book ideas to the classical themed month and brings a lot of additional experience as a trained librarian.
Scott I'm a teacher of British Literature and Advanced Placement English Literature at CD Hylton High School in Woodbridge, VA. My reading interests include mythology, medieval literature, history, historical fiction, and science fiction. I started the Facebook site to try and involve my ex-students in reading quality books, but it's evolved into so much more than that.
John I am an academic affairs administrator and advisor at Niagara University, NY, with a doctorate in higher education administration and interests in multicultural issues, social media, and e-books. My reading interests include speculative/science fiction, fantasy, YA and dystopian literature, with some historical fiction thrown in on the side. Now that I have completed my dissertation, I have challenged myself to read 100 books this year.
David I am the library director at St. Patrick's Seminary in Menlo Park, CA. I read mainly in History, Speculative Fiction and Mystery/Thriller, often at the same time. I am also a closet statistics nut and I am looking forward to compiling all the data from our group.
