The novel does dominate in general. At other forums I've visited, I have tried to generate discussions of plays and poetry and for my trouble I was handed a tinfoil hat and told to sit in the corner.

Here, I think there's a place for works beyond the novel, at least I hope so. In fact, I've found the members open to most topics, however strong their opinions might be on those topics.

I hope you'll take a moment to introduce yourself, Chester. Tell us what you like and what brings you here.
