For Those of Us that are Avid Readers...
would it be possible to have a "Let's talk about Books" or something like that?

Re: For Those of Us that are Avid Readers...
I think so. The problem for me is that I hardly have any time to read. Not to mention read recent stuff, as it takes a long time before the North American market is available in SA.

Re: For Those of Us that are Avid Readers...
Didn't we come up with this idea a while ago and reject it because nobody was really into it? I don't mind starting up a book club, hell I can prolly get discounts on boox through Amazon (have to check as its been a while) for anyone who purchases via Lifesupporters.
I just don't want to go through the work if there's no real interest.
I do think its a great idea, the problem lies in that we don't have enough membership to make it more than one or two people discussing different books.

I like the idea but I don't read a lot.

Re: For Those of Us that are Avid Readers...
I'd love to discuss books - would have to be ones I've read as I don't get much time to read anything new right now

Re: For Those of Us that are Avid Readers...
Well if you guys want it, I'll create it as a subforum somewhere.

Re: For Those of Us that are Avid Readers...
i think what luba means is instead of doing it book club way - where everyone reads the same book and then talks about it.
we just discuss books in general - a lot easier for those who cant get hold of certain books due to lack of money or the fact that there is books in the uk/us that you cant get in the other etc.

Re: For Those of Us that are Avid Readers...
I just finished reading "Eat, Pray, Love" by Elizabeth Gilbert; of course, recommended by Oprah for her Book Club; even watched Ms. Gilbert on the Show, what a great, great book!

Re: For Those of Us that are Avid Readers...
I'd suggest then that the book discussions should take place in the Entertainment Forum. I'd also suggest titling topics something to the effect of Book Discussion: Book Title
...this way, we can easily find all book related discussions and move them to a new and separate forum should this become popular here.
I can also create a Book Discussion subForum under Entertainment and if it gets used, great; if not then it can always be combined with another forum in the future.
Either or, it's all up to you.
