Literature Forum

I'd like to suggest that we incorporate a new forum for discussion specifically related to what people are reading. Whether it be novels, comic books, or other such literature. I would like to also suggest it be reserved to actual hard copy items....not something on the Internet....unless it's available in both formats.

nah, that would have a smaller userbase than an MP3 forum. You can probably keep all of the book threads in the off topic section.

Music and movie forums were suggested previously, but were deemed to have too small an audience for a tech site. Small enough to be included in off-topic, anyway. Literature being less popular than music and movies, would probably belong in the same place. Even an all-inclusive Entertainment/Leisure forum has been suggested before, but again, since this is a tech site firstly, it was decided to be essentially an off-topic topic lol.

I was thinking of recommending this same exact thing. I read a lot from Fantasy (wizards, etc) to SciFi to Mystery and what not. I would like to see such a forum but the user base of such a forum may be big or small. May not be worth it.

Based on what we removed and some of the forums we opened which are inactive to a level, its not worth it. nice idea, ive alot myself but we need to keep it as tight as possible and the forum sections worth keeping open and active.
