Book Reivew Forum

I know there's a thread on "books you are currently reading" in another forum. However, is there a chance to set up a book review forum where members can post reviews about books? It's always a mixed bag reading the reviews on Amazon and would introduce a lot of books that someone might not necessarily search for.

What's everyone elses thoughts?

I would absolutely support such a forum, I have just received 2 books from Amazon.com that I would love to review.

Perhaps a Movies/Music/Books etc review forum?

Yeah good idea, as long as you promise to keep Military Histories/Military training manuals/Military autobiographies to no more than 1 per week (unless it's ones I'm interested in of course) and an outright ban on the damn greek philisophical schools.
