BookShelvedWiki

What is Bookshelved ?

  • Bookshelved is an '''online discussion'''
  • Bookshelved is a '''community'''
  • Bookshelved is also a '''collaborative game'''
  • Bookshelved is a '''wiki''' (in case you didn't get the hint.)
  • Bookshelved is supported by '''LaurentBossavit'''
  • Bookshelved is a '''good place to learn about books you ought to read.'''
  • Bookshelves is a '''good place to find other readers of books.'''

Keith (and Laurent, for that matter):

The Bookshelved Wiki has members familiar to many SHAPE and AYE regulars.

See:

Unlike the AYE Wiki, I don't see BookShelvedWiki itself as a discussion format as much as a review spot. Each page of Laurent's http://bookshelved.org/ Wiki is either:

  • a book review (page name = title),
  • an author biography (page name = author)
  • a member's signature page (page name = member name).
  • interestingly, some pages serve as both author and member:

If there were random pages added, I think it would reduce the "book review" focus of the Wiki. Your mileage may vary.

There's no reason a book review (page name = title) can't have discussion on the same page. I didn't create a random page, I created one for book/title.

Keith,

A while back I had started The Goal by Goldratt. For whatever reason I was drawn to other activities.

I like the idea of BookShelvedWiki. Sorry for my slow response on this... I got "shelved" in my own way :\

So, do you have any "rules". Do I get to tell you about any I am reading that I want to share with you? Or, is there some protocol I must kow-tow to for what you might have expected of this wiki's Books Shelved?

I'm not sure what this conversation is about. Is there a question, or set of questions, that we're trying to find answers to ? -- LaurentBossavit 2003.06.09

I'm not sure what Becky is asking, or who she is addressing ... I find it kind of strange that BookShelvedWiki doesn't actual converse - have dialogs about - the books people that list in that wiki.

Hi, Keith! my response above was prompted a posting you made. I guess it was hard to tell, huh?

I was curious to know what was behind your posting. Lo and behold, you provided the answer just above.
