Jimmy, I'd love to see a book review section. A place where we can give a review of low carb or health books we've found particularly helpful, or to pan those that give lousy advice. Perhaps the reviewer can give a short synopsis of the book, and give their opinion as to whether it's worth reading, if it has anything beneficial to help us with our low carb journeys.
Not just new books, but maybe older, less known books, too. And I'd like to see this open to anyone to post a review of what has been helpful to them.
And perhaps this could also be a blog review section, similar to what you have put in your own blog in the past. Short and sweet reviews, like "I like Joe Shmoe's low carb blog, he's to the point and funny and his link is......."
I think this might be of a lot of help to others, especially if they are considering buying a book, but not sure if it's what they want or need. And they could request a review from anyone who might have the book, if they are thinking of getting the book, to find out if it's worth the bother.

THANKS Sandi! I have considered a book and low-carb product review section Nita, so don't give up hope for that. Let me chew on it a bit. Anyone else feel free to chime in on what you think too.

Jimmy, I would love a section dedicated to this too. What I have done is go through and make a tally sheet and the books that have the most tallies, I go and look at and have on a list to check out from the library. I think if there were a small section for it more people would know it is there and be able to either contribute or find things they would be interested in.
I also like the idea of the blog review. I knew you had a blog but I had no idea there were so many out there. It is kind of overwhelming trying to figure out which to actually read.
I just wanted to add my feelings on the subject.

Thank you for the link. I like reading this stuff when I'm sitting in the carpool lane at school in the afternoons!
