Separate forums for books and other entertainment?

[Anonymous]

I would really enjoy a book forum. The book threads get buried easily under all the other entertainment threads.

+1, we've been having great discussions in the various book threads

Has the recent spate of active book threads pushed you, Jeff, into thinking about this more?

We're trying!

It's just so off-putting to see the entertainment clogged with so much celebrity stuff. I'd just love it if we could split the forum. I'd love book only, but I really think books, TV, movies and celebrities, reality, and royals is the way to go.

I actually want to do this but just trying to find the time. The hardest part of creating a new forum is moving old threads into it. That is time-consuming and not particularly fun to do.

Ok, great thanks. I'll stop pestering you on this thread. I bet it is hard to find the time. Thanks!!

It’s here, thank you! Do you want reports of threads to move to the book forum or no?

[Anonymous]

thanks Jeff! Looking forward to seeing what DCUM'ers are reading.

I an happy to see the forum off to a good start but it’s classix DCUM that the busiest thread is asking people to crap on books other people like.

The concept of "discussion" is that both the pros and cons of books are talked about. It's not a fan page for books, that would be entirely dull.

If you think "name a popular book you didn't like" (where most of the posters do exactly that without even explaining why they didn't like the book in question) constitutes a "discussion" of the pros and cons of a book then I am not sure I am the one with a deficient understanding of the concept .

These are some more that could be moved.
