Okay, so a paragraph or two would be acceptable.
I'm disappointed that the thread was moved. Seems to me that the best place to discuss how people might like to use the "Reading Recommendations" forum would be in that forum itself.
But maybe I'm wrong. We'll see if anyone else replies now that it's here.
