Great idea. I suppose it would have to be in the general Off Topic section. Or the Health, Wealth, Whatever one - there are some "bookish" threads in there.

Thanks again, no I have not had any luck. I do not wish to post it in some obscure place.

Thanks your posts always are helpful rwenzori. I will have a look there, maybe I should try get hold of someone to create a new sub under off topic?? but who?

I suggest trying it out in the Health/Wealth section. The site owner is rpm, who you would need to send a private message to in order to request a new section, but he is only likely to do so if there is sufficient interest from others. TBH you are not going to find many people here very well-read beyond teenage fantasy and popular novels ( though there are some ), but good luck!

Audible books . . . . do you consider them to be reading or just listening?
Serqet
28-03-2009, 05:28 PM
that has to be considered listening and not reading.

Lol ok ok I get it, I guess im expecting to much...
so I will open a thread under wealth stuff like that. Prescribe a good classical book, which I have a bit of knowledge in and see if anyone is interested.

English lit - that's kind of a broad category of reading. What kind of classical novels are you talking about? Do you have a genre, a language, a century in mind? :D

Hi Cerebus,
I have in mind to bring back the "book club" of yore. Where we decide on any serious piece of literature, read it and do some serious discussion based on it.
I have opened the thread here:
http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php?p=2662426#post2662426
We already have worked out one or two kinks on how we should go about it. There are three people interested already, please read the post's and tell me what you think.
I have suggested a Gothic/Romanticism novel from 1831 which can be read and discussed on its own, or compared to a motion picture by Kenneth Brannagh or a parody by Spike Milligan.
