I was wondering if /book/ can become an image board. Why should there be only text when expressing one's feelings about books? Pictures are necessary to visualize the stories. If Music can be an imageboard when it doesn't really use visual resources then why can't Books be one? If there were an image board for Books then we'll have more substantial and concrete discussions and have a steady stream of fresh and innovative thoughts. Someone needs to beg moot to give us more attention. He is adding a new board called "Advice/relationships" and reviving /n/. Why do you need a shitty board like Advice and Relationship when you can have something more meaningful such as books? In this age of ours, no seems to give a shit about books
anymore and looks towards more flashy means of expression in anime or videogames. I don't want to waste my time pandering over useless things as in other boards.
Please share your thoughts and opinions /book/ lurkers.

I would be up for it. An imageboard /book/ might easily degenerate into a request/warez cesspit where everyone regurgitates their own shit over and over again, but I'd be willing to at least see what the added clientele would bring.

I would see what it would be like for a few weeks as a trial.

I WOULD LIEK IT JUST AS MUCH AS MY COLLECTION OF PICTURE BOOKS.
IT SOUNDS FUCKING AWESOME
I would love it, for the biggest reason because it would actually have some popularity.
Then again, /book/ is probably the most tame, matured board on 4chan, image or text, so I don't know if I'd like that to end. I would rather have there be some initiative to ramp up text board activity, if only slightly.

But I don't want to write it graphically, because my book is deeply philosophic. And I hate my mom, she's such a bitch, I swear I'll kill myself if she ever tells me to go to sleep when I'm playing my private vampire RP server on WoW.

Express your book's philosophy through the bodies of your lesbian vampires. Obviously this requires it to be graphic.
I don't care. 420chan has a book and literature image board that's fairly active so I mainly post there.

I've E-mailed moot in request of a /lit/ imageboard, and I'm sure many others have as well.
420chan's /lit/ is extremely helpful and reasonably active. If we can have imageboards for transportation, cooking, music, and countless types of porn, then why can't we have one for writing and literature?
True, few people frequent the textboard, which probably includes moot.
So I guess you could say this thread is moot.

its a shame we have trolls in the textboards

The last thing a hypothetical book image board needs is dumb nerds who think “Watchmen” when somebody brings up graphic novels.

if you're nerdy enough to think there are video games that are good, and that they would be posted about on /tg/
but of course I'm all open to discussion of comics like Persepolis, though since there is the occasional thread about them on /co/, I don't really see the point in discussing them on a hypothetical book board (which is for books)

of course it would be unavoidably nerdy being overrun with threads about fantasy and science fiction and palahniuk so whatever
>>39 if you're nerdy enough to think there are video games that are good...
I'll let that pass...
and that they would be posted about on /tg/
Do you not go to /tg/? They are.

I mean that good video games would be posted about in /tg/. I'm sure they post about things like Baldur's Gate and KotOR and System Shock and the first two Fallouts

If this was an image board, more people would visit it to troll us.

I can safely browse this forum at work, because no troll is going to post porn like they do in every image board. I would like to keep that feature.
