Idea: Online book discussions
Often times I read a book and really want a friend to read it so we can talk about it. But I realized this is the point of a book club.
I looked around online for book discussion but I mostly just found a bunch of garbage.
Do you ever find yourself wanting to discuss a book after reading it? Would an online dialogue with strangers be just as appealing?
Curious to hear what people think!

- eglover 12y agoI think discussions online period are a bunch of garbage. Still, have you considered Goodreads? EDIT: This isn't Show HN, people really look for that tag. Edit your title and delete it.
- JSeymourATL 12y agoI'm afraid discussions are perishable things. For instance, perhaps you read a book several years ago, that I only recently picked up. Catching people in the moment, just when they're interested in that very topic has a limited time-window. Not unlike HN threads.
