[net.news.group] net.lit

How about net.lit instead of net.books?
This avoids the problem of the trailing 's',
and also allows the discussion of other
forms of literature.

let's hear it for net.lit - maybe the warring factions of "book"
and "books" can now make peace. this is a little more generalized,
also, allowing diverse sub-groups (e.g. magazines, reports, ...).
in this case, then, should sf-lovers become a sub-group?

I also like net.lit -  it has a wider appeal and the possibilities
of diverse sub-groups which one can subscribe or unsubscribe at will.
However, I think that sf-lovers covers more than just literature,
and thus would not be a fitting sub-group to net.lit.
