That might be a good idea.

What's everyone think? Want a separate section for threads about books?

Lleauric

Good idea. Might even grow into its own section

Too much of the reading I do is mandatory, but I'm always looking for an excuse to pick up something that I actually find interesting. I think a section for books would be a good addition to the forums. We could even have like a book of the month that a different person could pick each month to read together and have discussion on. It could definitely add a very interesting dynamic to the political discussions we have in RLNAG.

I'd be up for this. I just recently joined one at work and the first book was The Kite Runner. Great book.

Can we include Maxim as a book ? Microwave generation Literature 4tw

But sounds like a great idea.

Ive just started reading a book.

Since it fits the original genre of the board, i think it would be appropriate.

The Malazan series by Steve Erikson.
http://www.malazanempire.com/site/index.shtml

People ive talked to have compared it favorably to ASOIAF

http://www.amazon.com/Gardens-Moon-B...1397027&sr=8-2

Its the opposite of Martin though.. this is Ultra High Fantasy.. magic is everywhere, gods are murdered, Heroes are epic in proportion..
I guess its like if you crossed the early Silmarrillion with GRRMs story telling ability.

Ive actually ordered the whole series because I dont like reading at my computer.. but if you are REALLY cheap.

If you like it.. I urge you to go buy it.. but thatll get you started.

A book club is a great idea...Ainwein ftw!

Let's gauge interest and try to get a list going. I figure we could probably work through 2 books a month, depending on the selections. I do something very similar to this on another message board and it has not only spurred me to finally work through some of the classics, but also introduced me to new material that I would have never found without.

Sounds great, as long as LL doesn't pick all the titles. I like to read without a dictionary and thesaurus as a reference.

Haha! Thats all I read this Africa trip. Had a stack of them in the four hole burn out. Nothing tempers the smell of shit, piss and diesel fuel like Maxim.
