    Open Petition for a Separate Book Forum

    The book thread has more posts than the music forum, and there have been some great sub-topics discussed already. It would be nice if they were separated from one another. Anyone agree?

    There does seem to be a lot of book activity on the forums lately, which is always cool.

    I'd be down. I'd like to post individual book reviews, but I don't want to clutter up the Kitchen Sink, so a book sub-forum would be swell as hell.

    I dont' want to go too nutty here with all these extra subforums (it makes me think we might need to arbitrarily come up with a new movie-themed forum just because it looks like we like everything more than movies these days), but I'd support this as well as a sports forum.

    I actually prefer the way the sports discussions are done now.

    So do I. There are only 4-5 major sports (not you hockey), and each sport has it's own thread. That feels sufficient. A book forum however I would totally get behind. Sometimes I get lost in the book thread. If I can't recall a book that was recommended to me months ago, it'd be nice if said book had its own thread.

    Okay. You guys are probably right about the sports forum. They're the only threads I don't read, though, which is why I was lobbying for them to exiled. It probably really is just me.

    Um, but I do support the book thing, in case that wasn't clear.

    I'm all for a book forum.
    I am impatient of all misery in others that is not mad. Thou should'st go mad, blacksmith; say, why dost thou not go mad? How can'st thou endure without being mad? Do the heavens yet hate thee, that thou can'st not go mad?

    ...shortly after this post Raiders became drunk with power and started banning people left and right. The forum soon ran red with the blood of the innocents, and bodies filled the forums. The horror, the horror....
