Is there a section on the forum for Books/a Book club?

As per the title really, is there a section to discuss books, get recommendations etc?


I'd love to start/join a Book Club type thread, join up with others on Goodreads and things like that.


Is anyone else interested?

    There was a long running thread on the Arms board for book readers, I must admit, I have not seen it for a while, it has probably sunk well down the board.

    Thanks Torbrex.


    I am wondering if MSE would consider adding an 'Entertainment' section, maybe with sub-categories of Films, Books, and other stuff like that.


    But maybe I'm the only one who would be interested.


    We could have weekly/monthly book clubs and discussions.

    There is a film thread running in the Arms right now, it is always close to the top.

    May be just start a new thread in the Arms and see how it goes.

    I'm sure you'll have people wanting to join you.

    I used to be an avid reader but can't really concentrate on it anymore but would have plenty of recommendations.

    Life, to be sure, is nothing much to lose,
    But young men think it is,
    And we were young.

    Thanks Ruby.


    I think I'll just look elsewhere. I am sure there must be online book clubs I can join somewhere.
