Book corner.
I think a boook corner would be cool.
--To Write Love on Her Arms
"That time and absence proves - Rather helps than hurts to love."
"Feelings, emotions, they are good, but they cannot be Love's foundation. When of Love, these things last. When of romance, these things end."
"Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get, it's what you are expected to give -- which is everything."

I don't know if that's a good idea... the corners of books can easily rip plastic bags, you know. ^_~

It's an interesting idea.
The scientific method," Thomas Henry Huxley once wrote, "is nothing but the normal working of the human mind." That is to say, when the mind is working; that is to say further, when it is engaged in corrrecting its mistakes. Taking this point of view, we may conclude that science is not physics, biology, or chemistry—is not even a "subject"—but a moral imperative drawn from a larger narrative whose purpose is to give perspective, balance, and humility to learning.

I would support it. I mean, at the same time it may be difficult unless there was a specific set format, because of all the differing opinions (see the Harr Potter thread), but I love to discuss books and that kinda thing.

I believe any created Book Corner would only cover discussing literature (though it would most likely be of all types). Reviews are an interesting idea, but we're already trying to handle a lot in that area. You're welcome to state your opinion about books, however (for example: Book x is a good christian book), there will merely be no official reviews.

It's all about the Left Behind I think it's a nice idea!
I'm leaving CAA perminantly. i've wanted to do this for a long time but I've never gathered the courage to let go.

I agree. There is always so much differentiating of opinions over books, and an official review would be difficult to do, other than personal recommendation, which people do all the time (like the Good Anime thread).

book corner definitely gets my vote. i mean, there's a separate section for movies and another music and they can be just as controversial as books but they're there all the same. besides, i think books deserve not only to be reviewed but to be discussed too. ^_^

This idea is official under staff review, though things are pretty positive. Trust me, though, your voices have been heard. No need to convince us further.

He wants them to learn to walk and must therefore take away His hand; and if only the will to walk is really there, He is pleased even with their stumbles.
Healing hands of God have mercy on our unclean souls
once again. Jesus Christ, Light of the World, burning
bright within our hearts forever. Freedom means love
without condition, without beginning or an end. Here's
my heart, let it be forever Yours, only You can make
every new day seem so new.

Nail pierced hands they run with blood
A splitting brow forced by the thorns
His face is writhing with the pain yet it's comforting to me
