The Pravda forums are connected with the newspaper by that name. In addition to the English language forums, they have forums in Russian and a couple of other languages. The English forums are rather relaxed, spontaneous, etc. One person who visited there asked if wasn't just a bunch of people doing a lot of flaming. There are moderators, but almost anything goes. I went there looking for news at the beginning of the invasion of Iraq and found that the people there found all of the information that anyone might want. I posted the poll on the Science, Culture, Social section and there have been 17 votes and 57 replies.

Thanks, I just wanted to know the precise connection with Russia...I've been telling myself for years that I should join a Russian forum, but I'm always too lazy to do it...

You might want to look at a few before joining. Not everyone would want to be on the Pravda forums.

Biographies, only the intersting ones though, not all these rubbish ones out at the mo! Like Ger Helliwell, really don't care! Stuff like Sickened, and A Child called It and The Little Prisoner.

Having said that I will also consider the "other" option: (Romantic) poetry and philosophy. Most philosophy books I read tho' are fiction anyway.

I picked fiction because it covers a lot.

Indeed...I mean, it's not like I'd choose that one but everytime I see a Russian forum I think 'why not' and then I find my lazy reasons for not doing it...

Laziness is one of the best reasons for not doing anything.

eeheh... amen :)

Fantasy. I do read the other genres but fantasy forms the largest chunk of my reading pile. Read very little to no non-fiction though.

Fantasy rules!
