Meta Thread
Podcasts got their own thread barely (10 votes in favor, 8 votes against) in last month's poll. I think however that 10 subthreads are enough, so if we create new ones for other types of media from now on, I suggest we should also be examining which existing categories can be dropped or merged.
How about a category for video games (there are already two in this month's thread)?
I don't have any recommendations on the subject just yet, but I would like to start talking about textbooks at some point in the near future. I don't know if the monthly media thread is the best place for this, so I thought I'd throw the subject out in meta and see what came back.
Are you aware of this thread? It seems more effective to consolidate advice about textbooks to a single thread, since textbooks are less time-dependent and less subject to short-term fads that even other kinds of informational, non-fiction media.
I'm aware of it, but it's buried. There seem to be enough people on Less Wrong who consume textbooks in an extracurricular fashion that it could be worth having semi-frequent discussions on the subject. Perhaps not every month (hence why I wasn't sure the media thread was the best place for it), but also perhaps more than once every two or three years.
