Book Discussion and Exchange

[Ghosth]

Yep, who's reading what, whats good, whats mediocre, whats a hard slog. Discussion of points raised in the book, etc.  So and so says this, but that conflicts with what whatshisname said in that, which one has the right of it, etc.

No drama, no copyright infringement, sharing if it happens will happen on the PM level not out in the open.

I recall last time B4 made this suggestion Skuzzies reply was a big affirmative. I'd like to see it happen as well

I had asked for this some time ago, I think enough time has passed to wish for it again.           With as many avid readers; and guys with books upon books of WW2 information that we have, it'd be nice to have a separate forum for book discussion and exchange. Make it happen Skuzzy, I will show you puppies.

I like this idea. There are a million books out there and some are good or bad depending on what you are looking for. Good reviews and exchange of thoughts about the books would at a minimum, help sort which books are worth buying. I've read 8 books on WWII air combat or machinery. some were better than others. some are very technical, some are accounts and records or the careers of some of the Aces. I'd be happy to share.

I'll give it a +1

I would like any lawyers to comment here in case I am wrong, but I am not sure exchanging books is illegal.  There is a large underground of book sharers that make their books available to anyone who wants to read them for free.  They are so bold as to have huge buildings full of books.  They are called librarians.

I wonder if its something we could just start ourselves (in the Oclub)and just keep alive by bumping it? (as long as its ok with AH)
 Although it would be great to have a separate area, and be able to discuss multiple books in multiple threads under the topic.

Wife just got me a 3G Kindle for Xmas (she said it was a gift, i think its because she doesn't want me to have to buy yet another book / bookcase   ) THing is great!!

I'm going to +1 this one again.  I've usually got one audiobook and two 'real' books going at any given time.

would it have to be just WW2 books?  Im all for the idea, but there are only so many WW2 books out there. Ether way good idea.

[Dichotomy]

I don't see why other genres of books couldn't be discus...

WAIT A MINUTE!!!!  We were geeks now we're all bookworms as well?
