This year we're discussing Granite State Stories on NHPR.org as well as our on-air discussions. In the coming weeks, host Laura Knoy, the Granite State Stories team, and members of our reading groups will be posting their thoughts on the five GSS books and the issues they bring up. We hope you'll share your insights as well. What themes came up in your reading and your discussions? What parallels did you find between the issues raised in the books and in New Hampshire life and culture? Did the book remind you of a personal experience or memory? Share your thoughts with readers all across New Hampshire by clicking on the discussion links below.

You'll need to register an account on NHPR.org to post comments. Registration is free and takes just a minute to complete.
