A suggestion for Ayn Rand book discussions
I propose we post discussions for specific books (or chapters) by Ayn Rand, using a simple format that is searchable, and can be added to over time. The format would simply be to include the title and citation in the title and note. Then I think each comment would start with a Rand quotation, and people can comment and reply to those. That means anyone can post their favorite parts, and then anyone can comment as needed. And it should be easy enough to search for the book discussion even years down the road. I think it would be more manageable to have smaller portions of her books, like chapters, rather than for example having one thread for all of Atlas Shrugged.
I’ll start another thread to demonstrate what I mean. Please leave your feedback for this idea here (not the sample thread). I haven’t mastered the search feature on here, so please tell me if this has already been done.

And as for manageable sections, I totally agree. For example, for Atlas Shrugged, I think we'd have more than enough great quotes and content for discussion by limiting a thread to one chapter. So 30 total threads.
