Are you browsing the forum as a guest?
If so, you wont be able to tell much about the board because a lot of what goes on goes on in the member's sections. 'nothing sinister, its just that because it is quite a small community (at the moment) it tends to get a bit parochial. But its actually very comfortable and friendly (once you learn to take SRD and Giron (when he is here) with a pinch of salt.)
Mostly reports of what people are doing and what the weather is like. Really like a general chat thread. We do have other stuff but because there are not so many members, the trivia stuff is a bit slow. the book forum (The Library) has only one main contributor, me, and I've been too busy decorating to read much lately. But its still a better book forum than T's (which no longer exists)

And, as you might be able to tell, we are still experimenting - three forums on.

I haven't read anything since October, I've just been too busy!
I got given a WH Smith token for my birthday so I'll have to buy a new book and start posting myself!

Well, there's the rub. I used to get a lot of ideas from the Tiscali book forum. Now that's stopped I don't really know. What about you?

Re: Are you browsing the forum as a guest?
To try varying my reading Ive just taken to picking up random books (from ones on special offer) if I like the look of the cover, and if I dont mind the blurb on the back I buy it. So far the 6 Ive bought like this I have all really enjoyed despite being ones I wouldnt have usually have looked at. And Ive learnt some new things too which is a bonus

I've just finished reading all the Harry Potter books, which I found surprisingly good (expect you've already read them, but if not, and you enjoy a bit of fantasy and adventure, they are hard to beat)

I enjoyed the Harry Potter books too - I bet the publisher who rejected the first one is really kicking himself !
