This IS net.books, and many of us are interested in reading other titles by our favorite authors. The book lists ARE long, but the 'n' key is available, as well as the option of updating your local 'Kill' file. What belongs in net.books, other than book lists and reviews? If enough people feel as you do, perhaps a division into net.books.reviews and net.books.lists is warranted, but (and this is of course my own opinion) I don't think so. Of course, the daily revisions to the book lists (:-) could be cut down to weekly... ----------------------------------------------------------------- --- Doug Ice

I haven't followed net.books for long and have missed the salient
arguments re the book list controversy. I don't understand the problem.
It seems that if you like book lists, read 'em; if you don't, don't.
If someone (somemany?) would care to post a [very] brief summary of
both views, I'd appreciate it. Or better, just send me mail to spare
everyone the tedious replay. Thanx (?).

But I suggest the formation of a new newsgroup as there seems to be some conflict here. In the interests of usenet as a whole (and peace upon the Western Front), the formation of a net.books.bibliography would seem to be the answer. Be seeing you... -The Phoenix
