I would like to read and discuss books with others. Maybe we could start a 'free book' reading club? Maybe start a poll to select a free book that we could enjoy simultaneously with some literary scholar guiding a discussion? This may not lead to original thought, but I think it would be interesting to see how different cultures (age, nationality, etc.) react to classic publications.
There are already two book clubs at MR:

Books are picked by poll and frequently they're free. The Lit Club is currently reading and discussing Mansfield Park.

Which forum is that?

"Jaded long term members dead tired of non stimulating, mundane forum postings?"

Mobileread has been great for me. Introduced me to dedicated ereaders, fantastic indie authors and some great like minded people.

No problems here, move along.

Realistically, I have been both reading and posting to some things on this site for over 2 years. Why are there no original thoughts? Always, there are the same questions of authoritarian ownership, best books, worst books, and other typically mundane things. Is there no one here to speak of real meaningful ideas of what authorship should or could be? Or maybe a more in depth look on what literary works have or possibly could shape the future? I am desperately woeful on what the great readers of my time ("you") can come up with. We keep regurgitating the same idealistic views, with no real insight, of the same topics that have beleaguered literary types for the length of time as recognizable to us. I have not posted much merely because it is irrelevant to what has already been spoken, even in this style. you can hate me for stating the truth, but so be it. I, personally, hoped for more from this group. You all, for the most part, are well read and know your own-selves. Yet nothing seems to be new, no new conversations, nor any new thoughts. I'm disillusioned and distracted by the thought of the readers ("us") into a spiraling downward spiral of mundane thoughts. Maybe a personal enlightenment could help me, or us all....
We are not worthy.
