Topic: We need a books sub-forum

[Pugnate]

Make it happen. We need to talk about books.

Third.

Stay out of the Movies/Music thread you page-bound charlatans!

We have a couple options here. We could do a Books board by itself, or I thought we could change the "Movies and Music" to a more general "Entertainment" board where it could include stuff like books, comics, laughing at celebrities, etc.

Thoughts?

I'd vote for the Entertainment board, but won't fight against a Books board.

[Schlotzky5]

I'm in for adding it to the music/movies. The board isnt all that active so it probably wont cause much disruption.

The only potential problem with that is when there's a movie version of a book and we want to talk about the book.

We do need one.  So I can burn it!

We wouldn't want our Twilight threads to get muddled up would we?

[Pugnate]

Perhaps a dedicated books board would encourage us to talk about them more but changing it to entertainment does sound more practical, though.

An entertainment board sounds fine then.

It's only the greatest book/movie series of our generation.

The last three books I've read are either movies or going to be movies very soon though.

-Blindness (movie came out last year)
-The Road (movie came out last year)
-Life of Pi (movie is in the works)

I read around 10-15 books a year and at least a third of them are movies. Most of them are shitty movies, but movies nonetheless.

That said, I'm ok with an entertainment board. Books probably won't have enough activity to justify a separate section.

Entertainment board it is! So we'll see how it ends up, it can always be changed later.
