Reading more than just novels

I think there should be a due date for suggestions (or this will went on for ever) ;) and then a poll with the best suggestions. The poll open for a limited time only, of course...
Then again, a time set for suggestions, followed by e poll, etc. I'm anxious to start! :)

I think poetry would be a really fun topic to cover because a lot of people tend to ignore poetry as a piece of writing. I used to hate poetry but after writing some of my own in the past year or so I became to love it. Truth be told, I hated poetry when i was younger...deciphering it, writing them, and reading them was pointless to me. After finding out that poetry is so bad after all I would really like to go over this topic in the future. :)

I think short stories by Ernest Hemingway are a good read too.

Could everyone who wants to read books as a side read please make these suggestions/ nominations on the side reads folder. It would be better there because then Jenn and I and the people who want to organize a side read can get a better idea of what kind of book the members want to read. We have already started a discussion there in the first topic to figure out what to nominate for our next side read. Thanks.

We already have a poetry folder set up. People have been posting poetry to that folder and discussing them.

When are we starting with 'Reading more than just novels'? I think a poll should be made already... I'm anxious to begin! :)

I will be posting all information about any side reads in the side reads folder. This topic thread was started before the side reads folder was made and we decided to start the side reads.

We just want you to post all your suggestions about a side read and reading more than just novels in the side reads folder in the first thread in that folder. Thanks.

It's a great idea to widen the scope. How about the essays of Montaigne, the poetry of John Donne or the writings of George Bernard Shaw?
