Ronny said:I think that there was a lot of interest in the non-fiction BOTM thread we had this month and it has been brought up that some would like to have this be a regular, perhaps bi-monthly thing. Is there any chance of us setting that up?![]()
SFG75 said:The only problem I see is that with non-fiction works, to discuss things beyong the superficial level, you will have to dive into politics and discussion of public policy with a good number of those books. If we can't do that, then we're stuck with the mundane: "I liked it...."; "It was good..."; "I didn't like it, just wasn't interesting...." comments that will doom it from day one. A discussion on Jared Diamond's Guns, Germs, and Steel could evolve into a "poltiical" discussion over the environment, capitalism, and labor. Will this be o.k.? Can the reigns be loosened a bit?
