It's not that we're jingoistic, it's that we're proud. And with your talk of other forums, you hurt us. Obviously we can do nothing else but lash out.

Anyway, I've never met a book discussion forum I like as much as this one. There are other fun book blogs (mainly Jessa's) and other interesting book sites, but this is the place I like to chat about books.
