I just have a quick question, do discussions about books and reading go here or in the entertainment forum? Being the literal thinker I am, no board concretely says "books."

I'd say to discuss books here, rather than the TV one. Maybe, to discuss how a book differs from a movie, I'd put it there. Something about more single medium each with more imagination needed to expand in writing, art, & music. Vs TV, film, etc. which are more multimedia with both audio & visuals. Expanding the details with my mind vs having them feel more restricted (already laid out) by the director's view (looks & sounds) of it. My take on it anyway.

Books are writings, no? :nerdy:

I suspect if a book, say Pride And Prejudice And Zombies :lol: , or something biographical about writers or artists, like Kill Your Darlings, was made for the movies or TV, I could see the rationale for posting it here.
