I don't have much inclination to discuss books that I've read either. I do look in the recommendation threads to find new books to read. But I don't see much value in discussing what I've already read, other than saying I liked it or not, and maybe a brief sentence describing the genre and/or basic plot - to help others decide if it's a book they'd like to read themselves.
I've even gotten pretty good at filtering recommendations based on who's making them. Not to knock peoples choices, but I've learned that certain people seem to have certain tastes around here - some that match my tastes, some that are far from them. I've pretty much given up reading for knowledge, insight or personal growth. Been there, done that. And that's all slipping away into the abyss of senility now. So I read for fun!
