Default [SOLVED] A Book Forum

Is there anyway we could get a book forum going? I read a lot of books and I'm sure that I'm not alone. Is this a possibility?

I disliked Lord of the Flies because I had to read it in class.

I guess it would be a good forum section,
It could go in Zbooks, if ppl put the books up that is, then you could discuss them there
Or a separated section could work too

Lord of the Flies was a great book. I actually enjoyed a lot of the stuff that I was forced to read in school with the exception of anything by John Steinbeck. I HATE Steinbeck

I've only read one book from John Steinbeck, which I didn't really enjoy, the ending was terrible, and was pretty boring.
But I can't really say much about him since I only read The Pearl

Haha, I loved Lord of the Flies!

Anyway, I'd greatly enjoy a book section,
and have contemplated requesting it
myself as I read too much. >.> It'd perhaps
go in the Pop Culture/Media section?

I have to read Of Mice And Men in my English class. Hopefully it's as good as I hear. The next book I want to buy is called Triumphs Of Souls. Hopefully B&N has it.

An amazing Trilogy, or what would have been a Trilogy. I'm so glad Christopher expanded the series for an additional book. I can't wait for Brisingr!

Yeah, that's where I had originally posted this because I was unaware of the "Request Forums" forum.

I take it that this isn't going to happen?

Well... I tried.

This has been attempted before. To be honest, it's hard to get a section about literature to be very active.
