I just thought I'd point out something I noticed. The "Charles Taylor and Liberian War Crimes" thread is drawing a little bit of attention, which made me a little hopeful about the chances of a book about Liberia getting chosen for next quarter's non-fiction reading. Which, in turn, made me think about the success of BookTalk's "The God Delusion" discussion. I'm wondering if maybe part of the reason that discussion... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (MadArchitect) http://booktalk.yuku.com/topic/1079 Mon, 11 Jun 2007 17:39:18 GMT <![CDATA[ New and more sophisticated forum coming soon! ]]> http://booktalk.yuku.com/topic/1074/t/New-and-more-sophisticated-forum-coming-soon-.html

At this time we have Non-Fiction, Fiction, and Free-Thinking categories. A fourth could be, simply, Religious.

I don't think this would offend any of the values or mission that Booktalk stands for; actually, I think it will bolster that part of Booktalk that is willing to learn and explore and make sense of the world around us.

We should all submit our very best recipes to this thread. We can discuss them and decide which ones deserve to go in the BookTalk cookbook. And then I can create the cookbook through our Cafepress store. Anyone who wants to buy a copy can do so for cost.
