Where can I go to talk about books?

[Art3misParzival]

I love reading, and I really want to just talk about things I've read and see what others suggest. I'm new and I tried searching for a place to discuss these things, but each location was empty when I got there. Does a place like this exist with actual people in it, or am I out of luck?

Thanks!

The Seanchai Library on Imagination Island has regular book readings in voice and near several other book-related locations. Here's more information:

Here is an article that will point you to some places and groups:

• The writing community of Second Life. What does it offer to writers?

And here is another place

• Book Island

I used to like Shelfari but Amazon bought it and, although they keep a low profile, it's now another marketing outlet.

By the time you read this the rest of the online book clubs will probably have been snapped up by Amazon or other booksellers.

Within SL, try groups, not places.
