A Reading Group for those Who Enjoy Sharing their Love of Books
Cleveland Ohio is Our Home
The LTM Reading Group was formed in September 2002, in Cleveland, Ohio. Since then, the group has been actively meeting on the last Tuesday of every month, except December. LTM is an acronym for: "Last Tuesday (of the) Month."
Our reading group’s operational guidelines are available to encourage and assist others considering starting their own local reading group. As each reading group is different, please feel free to modify them as you see fit.
LTM Reading Group’s Current Selection
Selection for May 26, 2009
Death Angel • Linda Howard • Ballantine Books 2008
Read our synopsis of this book on our Website.
Past Selections - Our reading group book selection archives include the complete list of books the LTM Reading Group has read since its September 2002 inception. Membership in our reading group does change and each month a different member recommends the next book to be read. As a result, the list is maintained primarily to avoid repetition.

Reading Group Meeting Themes (archive)
Purpose - Themes help our reading group’s monthly meetings stay fresh.
It has been our experience that creating a theme (especially a game) based upon the current book
selection not only makes the meetings more fun, they are much more memorable. The game provides a
means though which either the discussion or trivia questions can be asked, or simply as a fun
distraction.
Our meeting themes archive (although incomplete) is ongoing. It is available to other reading groups for use as they see fit. (Board game for “The Kite Runner” shown here.)
Our “Virtual” Reading Group (about our Blog)
We launched our Reading Group
Blog in July 2007. Its objective: “To extend the LTM Reading Group to potential new members
around the world.” If you enjoy sharing your love of books, we welcome you to
join. Need more
information? Find-out more about the LTM Reading Group Blog.
New to Blogging? Please read our “How
To” tutorial on Blogging or RSS feeds. We hope it provides enough information for newbies to
help lower the veil of mystery surrounding these subjects.
Subscribe to Current Book Selection Newsfeed
Our current book selection is subject to change every month. Past book selections are moved to the selection year archive (see links, upper-left). Comments on past book selections (beginning with our July, 2007 selection) are still welcome and encouraged.
