Read any good older works lately?  People are really paying attention to what YOU the reader are saying and recommending.

We always stress giving the bard's feedback, but just as important is telling other people about a good story when you read it!  Here's your chance to tell a LOT of people about your new favorites, or the old classics that you've enjoyed over the years.  Many of the older stories are wonderful, but are now lying there 'gathering dust' because only a few people know or remember them.  So, if you read something good, tell others about it!  We'll continue to post new fan/reader comments daily.

Read any good works lately?  People are really paying attention to what YOU the reader are saying and recommending.

We always stress giving the bard's feedback, but just as important is telling other people about a good story when you read it!  Here's your chance to tell a LOT of people about your new favorites, or the old classics that you've enjoyed over the years.  Many of the older stories are wonderful, but are now lying there 'gathering dust' because only a few people know or remember them.  So, if you read something good, tell others about it!  We'll continue to post new fan/reader comments daily.

Read any good works lately?  People are really paying attention to what YOU the reader are saying and recommending.

We always stress giving the bard's feedback, but just as important is telling other people about a good story when you read it!  Here's your chance to tell a LOT of people about your new favorites, or the old classics that you've enjoyed over the years.  Many of the older stories are wonderful, but are now lying there 'gathering dust' because only a few people know or remember them.  So, if you read something good, tell others about it!  We'll continue to post new fan/reader comments daily.

Read any good works lately?  People are really paying attention to what YOU the reader are saying and recommending.

We always stress giving the bard's feedback, but just as important is telling other people about a good story when you read it!  Here's your chance to tell a LOT of people about your new favorites, or the old classics that you've enjoyed over the years.  Many of the older stories are wonderful, but are now lying there 'gathering dust' because only a few people know or remember them.  So, if you read something good, tell others about it!  We'll continue to post new fan/reader comments daily.

Read any good works lately?  People are really paying attention to what YOU the reader are saying and recommending.

We always stress giving the bard's feedback, but just as important is telling other people about a good story when you read it!  Here's your chance to tell a LOT of people about your new favorites, or the old classics that you've enjoyed over the years.  Many of the older stories are wonderful, but are now lying there 'gathering dust' because only a few people know or remember them.  So, if you read something good, tell others about it!  We'll continue to post new fan/reader comments daily.

Notice all the new stories on the Top-25 list?  As can be seen above, visitors to The Athenaeum have been reading the fan/reader comments we've been posting over the last several weeks.  People are really paying attention to what YOU the reader are saying and recommending.

We always stress giving the bard's feedback, but just as important is telling other people about a good story when you read it!  Here's your chance to tell a LOT of people about your new favorites, or the old classics that you've enjoyed over the years.  Many of the older stories are wonderful, but are now lying there 'gathering dust' because only a few people know or remember them.  So, if you read something good, tell others about it!  We'll continue to post new fan/reader comments daily.
