I don't have anything good but this post reminded me of the poetry forum I frequented back in high school

http://www.emule.com/2poetry/phorum/list.php?5

Some of these poems don't even make me cringe Tbh fàm

Any advice on doing so?

This looks neat, it's a shame it's gone into torpor since 2011.

yeah be interesting and other interesting people will flock to you. at your first meeting make sure to let them know you're their alpha, dominate the conversation and ridicule anyone who criticizes you until they're afraid of doing so again.

/lit/ is the most active literature discussion forum on the internet

>>7421684
lit is a meme and banter forum with a "books" theme.

>>7420725
World Literature Forum is even slower, but you've got a nice backlog of worthwhile threads to read there.

>>7421695
The discussion isn't that good IMO, but there are good recommendations. They read a lot more broadly than most people on /lit/

>>7421691
Sometimes there's decent discussion though. YOu can find it as long as you try to make it.

>>7421699
Yeah, there's never going to be that much depth to discussion when there's no reward in doing so, imo. You'll be better off going to irl "forums," like conferences on literature. That's where actual discussion takes place, since it furthers everyone's careers and networking.

My favorite threads on WLF though have always been the New & Notable and the Nobel speculations every year.
