Our fiction section is slooow right now

For whatever reason our fiction section is a little slow these days. I've justed deleted the fiction book images from the top of the forums. As soon as I see an increase in interest in fiction we'll hold another poll and select a new fiction book. Anyone that loves fiction can spearhead this project and try to build some excitement for a new fiction book selection.

Maybe instead of seperating the two they could be combined so that there is no distinction between fiction and non-fiction at the homepage.

This is something to consider, but there aren't even suggestions coming in for fiction books. I'm not sure what that is all about. Fiction adds a whole different feel to the community and it would be nice to have it as a regular feature, but fiction isn't my personal interest so there isn't a lot I can do without the help of other fiction enthusiasts.

I think it may be harder to comment on fiction and be right. People may be less willing to share feelings than to share snippits of fact; which really is too bad. Given to oppourtunity I whould love to be involved in any type of discussion (of certain topics of course).

If we add a fiction book to the upcoming book discussions list we will probably follow your suggestion and just throw it in with the non-fiction books. Creating a whole new block for fiction below the non-fiction doesn't make much sense. So thanks for the suggestion.
