Three books in particular are the hot items:

The Geography of Nowhere
The Long Emergency
World Made By Hand

And I'm thinking some kind of a sub forum for those books might be appropriate.

Sure that sounds like a good idea.

I tried making the book discussion forum a "child" of general discussion, but that looked too confusing to me. Anyone have a second opinion on this? Should we make the book discussion a "child of" forum or it's own board like it is.

Or perhaps a Book Discussion section?  Emphasis could be put on Jim's stuff since he's the namesake for the site, but it might be fun to discuss other books on urbanism, peak oil, and so forth.

My humble opinion is that "Child" forums just make things more complicated than necessary. I haven't yet seen the need for them - multi-tier-ness, on any discussion board, and on the one I go to (that I've noticed) that does have them, bikeforums.net, they are easy to overlook, and that place seems to use the same software.

My experience is that child forums are only needed when the parent forum is desperately busy to begin with.
