Do you think DCUM has to have a separate forum for books?

I've moved to a Facebook group to discuss books.

We've tried DCUM bookclub/monthly read a few times and I think I'm one of the only ones who finished.

i remember this forum beginning because people got sick of seeing celeb stuff in off topics. this was like 4/5 years ago i wanna say. its really just gotten better (more posts/threads/traction) in the past couple of years. was rough at first.

i think books belong right here in entertainment.

I remember trying the book club idea. The discussions never took off.

You know you are old when you remember these original discussions:

I had thought there have been other discussions about separating books from entertainment and pop culture. I miss even having books in the title.

There just aren't enough threads on it. I think I've seen maybe 4 or 5 in the past 4 years. One on political non-fiction, and the rest mostly about chick lit, neither of which I am remotely interested in discussing. And I read constantly but really this is not the place i come to in order to discuss literature or poetry at all.
