Hi, I hope it's all right if I pop in and say that the kind of discussion you're talking about would be a *wonderful* contribution, because other people who also talk about books that way will see it and feel like they can join in, too.
I never meant for the way I talk about books to be seen as the only correct way to do bookdeyada. I just... naturally talk that way, and naturally talk a lot. And then as a mod of bookdeyada, I make a point of hanging around the discussions a lot to try to keep things lively, which means I talk even *more* than usual...
But it has the bad side effect of making people think that the way I discuss books is The Way It's Done Here. That's definitely not the message I want to send. So I would absolutely love if you would step in and help provide examples of other awesome ways (and all ways are awesome ways) to talk about books.
Re: this plan is Lal approved!
