A Discussion of the Books from the Period

Project 1968 is still going strong, and it’s attracted the attention of some very interesting people.

One recent commenter asked if I was planning on publishing a book after this was done. My response? Yes, but the site stands on its own. It isn’t being used as a promotional tool for another project.

Judging by the ISPs, the Project has gained popularity with the college crowd.

With both storylines underway, there will be a few more additions to the site. As you know, the main blog is for the actual story. The back pages are for source notes, credits, etc. Starting this week, discussions of books will be introduced on the site. There will also be more pictures to go along with the stories.

Project 1968’s book discussion begins with Joyce Maynard’s book, “Looking Back: A Chronicle of Growing Old in the Sixties.”

I’ll be posting even more additions in the coming weeks. Feel free to stop by for a visit.
