Maybe the mods could be nice enough to either:
Make a new renegade reads section for these kinds of things.
Or even better:
Make you a new section for the book.
I'd be more in favour of a renegade reads section than simply a section for the book, since otherwise we'd have to request a new section each time one of us fancies a renegade read. Plus, it would be nice to have all the unofficial stuff in one place. Please, great glorious ones with mod powers, give us this glorious gift!I agree that the 'what else are you reading?' section would be more appropriate otherwise. :)
Rob - good suggestion, I'll update things. I'll leave it to the mods to decide on section vs no section
Don't leave it to the mods for anything. Stand up and demand action. Grab your pitchforks and torches as you riot until our sword and laser overlords can no longer ignore our demands. You must create a new sub-section by force if necessary. Let them hear your fury as you relentlessly post to countless threads demanding action. Glory is your if you will but reach out your hand and take it....(I like the idea of a whole section for the renegades read selections. Keeps things organized)
Okay, I created a thread asking for a renegade read section. As you will see, I explained my views in full...erm...:P
I posted a Renegade Read thread floating the idea of reading Iain Banks' The Player of Games this month for folks who wanted to check it out in addition to or in place fo Wool. There was interest in Banks in the "what do you want to read in May" thread and several responses to my thread so... here we go.
I've not started a Renegade Read before but I'd like to suggest some guidelines:
1) I've posted a starter thread here. We can use that as the main thread but if you want to highlight a particular thing about the book then of course go right ahead (like I could stop you... ) However, let's try to keep things organized. Please preface the subject with either "Renegade Read:" or "Player of Games: ." That will let people know what the thread is about and they can open or avoid it as they please.
2) Post threads in the What Else Are You Reading forum for now (T, V and mods... if you'd like this elsewhere please let us know).
3) Although the book's been out for years please assume there are new readers and watch the spoilers.
