Is there anyplace on the web where there is an online discussion on Conservative books of the month? I would love to read and discuss conservative books in an online forum. I really do not have much time to go to an actual meeting to discuss books, and I figure a forum dedicated to one book a month would increase my political knowledge while communicating with others. Anyone have any links or ideas?
Thanks.

There is actually a site called conservativebooktalk.com for reviews and discussions of conservative titles, both fiction and nonfiction.
For starts, I would recommend:
Miniatures and Morals, by Peter Leithart (sp) - The Christian context of Jane Austen's novels.
The Forsaken, by Tim Tzouliadis - About Americans who emigrated to the Soviet Union during the Depression; how they got caught up in Stalin's genocide. Among the best books I read last year; it will break your heart.
Eleven Years in Soviet Prison Camps, by Eleanor Lipper - This book, published in 1951, was mentioned in the Tzouliadis book - she was a Dutch socialist who was arrested as a "counterrevolutionary" in Russia. Great story.
