Thanks for doing this, I meant to get around to it today and hadn't yet. But I'm glad I didn't, because you did a much better job. (Particularly coming up with the threading idea, that's a good thought.)

If we keep doing this, we should try to come up with a specific format and guidelines like the quotes thread has. For example, how should we handle duplicates? People will obviously have different recommendations about them, but should they be combined to an older thread that people probably won't see? Should people try to link to previous recommendations if they know something has been posted before?

Edit: Should books be divided into fiction and non fiction?

This should be an offspring of the Meta Thread.

Oh, drr. I didn't realize that that's what it's for. I'm dumb. It never even occurred to me that "Meta" wasn't a type of media...
