Common Ground Reading Group
Common Ground is a group of folks who gather monthly in Concord to discuss the month’s selection. Although Common Ground is a subgroup of Capital Gay Men, it welcomes anyone who wishes to participate (no discrimination based on gender or orientation; we ask only that you be 18 years of age or older).
We meet on the 2nd Tuesday of the month at 7pm. Currently we meet each month at Bill's apartment in Penacook; please contact one of us to get specific directions.
2009 Selections
In the table below, links are provided to the Amazon.com page where you may learn more about the books and even buy them if you wish. The columns to the right are for ratings by our regular attendees; each is asked to rate the book from 0-5. If the rating is a link, it leads you to a full review by that attendee.
The columns identify our most-frequent attendees: George, Bill, Jeremy, Glenn My., Glenn Ma., and Rod. Joining us does not obligate you to be identified on this website or to be the group leader (although we welcome it).
