> Is this supposed to be an on-line version of a real-world book club, where everyone reads the same book and discusses it for a week or month, the non real-time equivalent of a meeting?
Right. Feel free to take a look...
> Would it be appropriate for me to post a message asking for a suggestion for a book on a particular topic? For example, I'm interested in learning about sleep, how you can tell how much you need, what the quality is without going to a sleep lab etc. Where would be the right board to discuss that sort of thing.
Hmm, good question. Right now, PBBC is focused on picking books to read, so maybe that would fit better at (the original) PB.
> Also, I'd be interested in an "advanced" forum on neurology and medications. The difference from PB would be that the focus would be on the research --both pure science and applied medication, about how things work for the sake of curiosity rather than simply for solving one's own problems.
That idea's come up before, I'm just not sure it would be so easy to decide what went where. Which is the key, I think, to multiple boards...
