I agree - with regards to the online thing - but I do get into some pretty good discussions with people about novels. My son and I discuss the political/cultural implications of the Dune series, I discussed religious overtones of the Narnia series with the whole family, my daughter and I discuss aerodynamic/astronomic realities in the Pern series....and, of course, EVERYONE has something to say about sparkly vampires!
But all that discussion is face to face, quality people bonding time. I guess you can get some of that by discussion online...it just never appealed to me.
