Default Books/Reading material
Is there or could there be a section for books and reading material anywhere? Like what you're currently reading? Maybe in the interests section or hooked into the films/games etc forum? I'm sure I'm not the only one who likes a good book *ahem* and maybe people could link to good blogs and the like too?

I'm surprised there aren't more book fans. Especially as theres a section dedicated to creative writing and blog entries too

I've added to InOnes group. Maybe if it livens up I'll start a thread in general and add the link to the group there? Might get the ball rolling again

The thing with bookclubs is the reading the same book thing. I'd rather just read the books I want to,lol. Plus I already have like 25 on my to-read shelf and a bookclub is an excuse to go buy more!

Oh no, I don't like being told/asked to read the same as everyone else as I know we all have such a range of differing tastes. Nothing worse than trawling through a book you can't stand But if I see a quick review about a book that may grab my interest I'll be chuffed and look it up. I always feel like a kid in a sweetie shop in a bookstore and never know where to start so always good if someones said "hey, this is worth a look"

I recently joined the audiobooks site http://www.audible.co.uk/. You can get a two-week free-trial and two free audiobooks, hah. I might use it more though.

We don't have WHSmith over here but I always pop in whenever I'm in London. Quite cheap and all!

Never tried an audio book. I think I'd worry I'd get distracted.

Yes they always have bargains book-wise. I love the place

I like Waterstones too but they can be expensive. I'm such a sod for a bargain and WH Smiths is around the corner and the 'net infront of my nose at home
