Well said, I agree completely.

But, what if someone is looking for a book about a certain topic and you know of a book about it and state right up front that you have not read it?

I think that the blogs can help discussion if used the right way, of course there's no guarantee that will happen. But if you were a new member and wanting to find current members you think have the same tastes as you, you could skim their blog very quickly and get a feel for that person without...

I am hoping that it takes of, I'm curious to see what people do with their blogs. I'm not much good at keeping a blog myself, I lack discipline and things to say but I know a few members around here have a lot to say and will probably come up with really good blogs.

That's good to know, I think I have We Were The Mulvaneys here, somewhere, too.

I'm finding that too, some things are very easy to understand and other things not so much. I'm always put on the spot, too. When we are out and about or at family dinners (my hubby has family here but he never learned german and the younger ones speak a little english but not much or not the...
