I found out today that "Reading Groups" is a sub-category in Yahoo Groups. The specific topical path (just like using subdivision in LCSH) is : Entertainment & Arts > Humanities > Books and Writing > Reading Groups Reading groups has subdivisions, as well. The most relevant one, for our purposes, is "Cultures and Groups". "Cultures and Groups" has subdivisions as well, BUT there are no specifically Jewish, Israeli or Holocaust categories. There are catergories for African American literature (another minority group), Arabic (another Middle Eastern group) and "Lesbian Gay and Bisexual Literature (another minority group). I've decided to set up my own "Jewish Book Discussion" reading group at Yahoo, but the details will need to wait until I complete the process. B'shalom, Steven M.
