Read. Write.
Spread the bug.
A literary campfire where readers become writers and writers find readers. No algorithms. No followers. Just the circle, and the things that get passed around it.
What book changed the way you see the world?

Why Live2Read?
A campfire where readers and writers
sit in the same circle.
Your Bookshelf
A quiet record of your reading life. Add books, track what you're reading, and capture what stayed with you.
The Campfire
Write musings, stories, poetry, reviews. The barrier is low and the tone is warm. Post Article, not Publish.
Your Circle
Follow people, not algorithms. Discovery through taste, not metrics. The substance, not the numbers.
Simple as 1-2-3
How it works
Read
Browse 800 pieces from the original archive. Poetry, stories, musings, reviews β all recovered from 2000β2003.
Write
Share what you're thinking. A musing, a poem, a review. You don't need an audience strategy β just something to say.
Connect
Respond, discuss, recommend. Great comments are as valuable as the original piece. The conversation keeps going.
