Book/Literature Forum, Please

**MissyO** · 11-01-2007, 11:46 PM

Ophelia and I have discussed it a few times, and I know that there are a number of other avid readers around here, so please consider creating a forum for Books & Literature.

**Ophelia** · 11-02-2007, 07:09 AM

Yes, please.

**Jocasta** · 11-02-2007, 07:14 AM

I might be in the Slow Reader Group but I'd still participate in a Book Forum. Maybe it could be combined with Art?

**Ophelia** · 11-02-2007, 07:45 AM

Book talk really turns me on.

Also - there's a very popular young adult vampire book series out right now - I think it could attract some new people to FH if there was a discussion thread about it in the book forum. I could plug it on my book blog, I get at least 200 hits a day just from people reading about the Twilight series.

I think most of the major Whatever players are readers, or at least regularly mention decent literature. I can see it working.

I need more books to read besides books on Science. I would like to read something dark, gritty, and eerie and have it intrigue me from the start to finish. I used to read Captain Under Pants a lot, one of my favorite books to read. Ahhh, good times.

**MissyO** · 11-02-2007, 10:13 AM

^ see, that right there would make an ace book review. Captain Under Pants is high literature, man!

I just read Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman - it was pretty dark and eerie and def intriguing.

**Plastic Flute** · 11-02-2007, 11:23 AM

Id go for it . Can we throw magazines in also ? I love Rue Morgue.

**MissyO** · 11-02-2007, 11:37 AM

^ I think so. It should be a forum dedicated to the written word in ALL its glory, so not just books but magazines and blogs etc. Even a forum for our own pieces.

**Ophelia** · 11-02-2007, 01:05 PM

yes, yes, YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**Plastic Flute** · 11-02-2007, 02:42 PM

Op the Book we are writng must never be posted at FHN.

**Jocasta** · 11-02-2007, 03:10 PM

But you must send it to me... as a return favour!

**Plastic Flute** · 11-02-2007, 03:20 PM

**Jocasta** · 11-03-2007, 02:50 AM

I'll show you mine, if you show me yours first!

(Then I'll see how vastly superior yours is and delete, delete, delete!)

I brought back the old "creative expression" forum and just renamed it. So make that old dead forum work :p
