[stylist] Thinking of a book-lovers listserve

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

Uh, how does reading have nothing to do with writing? One of the best
ways in which to grow and develop as a writer is to read. By discussing
various books, we can learn how to analyze a piece of literature in
order to better understand the mechanics of creative writing, and how to
incorporate this knowledge into our own writing.

Also, I will point out that we already contend with plenty off-topic
posts, and at least a thread discussing books would be productive.
Beyond the recent popularity of haiku's (smile( I can't remember the
last time anyone posted a writing sample for critique (it's been weeks)
and as always, if people don't want to read a post or participate in a
thread, they can skip it. Better to have activity of some kind than
nothing at all.

Sincerely,

Post to writers chat.  People will start complaining if you start
posting things about book lovers on it because it doesn't have anything
to do with writing.  s
