    Default Do you know of a forum for books?

    Kind of like the discussion boards on imdb, but for books.
    I know about GoodReads, but that seems to be mainly a place where people can review and recommend books, but not actively discuss them.

    I'd really like to nerd-out on the interwebz about a book or 2.
    Thanks for any suggestions!

    Thanks Bennu!

    At first glance, this link looks like it's mainly a place to set up some kind of online book club, but upon closer inspection there are a lot of interesting links to various forums.
    Have you tried any of the forums on there?

    ArmySGT. - not exactly what I was thinking, but free books are always great. I definitely appreciate the links.

    Elusive - that site looks awesome!!! Do you have much personal experience with it? (I'm not asking for your personal info or anything, just your general experiences with it).

    The only one that I've tried on there was one called BookTalk.org. I was refered to it by a friend of mine that's an avid reader. I've mainly just been a lurker over there; but I will say that the discussions seem to always maintain a degree of civility, even when they get a little heated.

    i will try booktalk. i use goodreads and like it a lot. amazon has forums but they always appear too ridiculous to participate in.

    Agreed about Amazon forums. And I like GoodReads, but there is not enough discussion for my taste - it appears to be mainly reviews. I like to read reviews before I read a book, but after I read it I'm looking for a good old-fashioned discussion about it.

    There is usually forums dedicated to specific books or series also.
