Book talk sites


Does anyone know of any online sites where people can discuss books? A site similar to MC, but only for books.

You might try Goodreads.com. If you want to join in the discussion it's a bit hard as they don't order their threads chronologically, but according to seniority or popularity or something like that. Most of the discussions are of a very low literary merit--I can get much more enlightenment on any particular novel just by reading one page written by a real scholar in a real journal than from all the posts put together on the same novel on Goodreads. I suggest you try jstor.org--it's only one-way communication, but much higher level of appreciation than anything you'll come across in Goodreads.

I suppose there are probably better sources, but I always read Amazon reviews of books to satisfy this need for myself.
