Cool page. | Cool page. | ||
A thought: If opinions are expressed on these books, I'd suggest those comments be signed. For straight info on the book, we can link to the Wikipedia articles, which will generally give reasonable detail. --[[User:Singkong2005|Singkong2005]] | A thought: If opinions are expressed on these books, I'd suggest those comments be signed.

:Great idea. I added signatures. Please change it if you think some other format would be better. I see this page as somewhat transitionary... i.e. as this page grows, spin off pages will probably need to be formed and categorized. I think that this transition will be easy. If a user wants to link to a book review, they can link to the page name, and then a redirect could bring them to the book review on this page. I am thinking about doing this same type of scalable page for link reviews as well. What do you think? --[[User:Lonny|Lonny]] 10:08, 7 September 2006 (PDT) | :Great idea. I added signatures.

As I've thought about this more, I wonder if it isn't better to encourage reviews to be posted at a more appropriate site (whether a wiki, or Amazon... it seems to me Amazon has the best reviews). This page could be replaced by one with recommendations of relevant books, with links to reviews. Not that there's anything wrong with the page, it's just there are huge sites out there already, that we won't be able to compete with in terms of number of reviews, and being set up to deal with reviews and star ratings. --[[User:Singkong2005|Singkong2005]] | As I've thought about this more, I wonder if it isn't better to encourage reviews to be posted at a more appropriate site (whether a wiki, or Amazon... it seems to me Amazon has the best reviews).
