Revolutionary Road

Hello Everyone,

I have added a discussion board for Revolutionary Road by Richard Yates. Please feel free to add any comments you have about the book. I also added to the discussion board a link to posts from The New Yorker that discuss the book which I though would be a great addition to reading the book.

It also has a preview of the Swedish movie that has already been made and according to the posting to be released in March here in the U.S. Check it out and see what you think of the preview.
