As writers it is always important to keep our minds fresh with new ideas, creative thoughts and an idea of how to string a story together. One way to do this is by reading work by other people. If you have come across a book that you thought was absolutely amazing and everyone who is anyone should read it, add it to the list. You could create a brief summary on a wiki page with the books details.
See this example as a guideline: RR.nameofbook
Please add RR for Recommended Reading followed by the book name.
Then add the wiki link along with a brief summary as follows:

2005-07-21 [pixie_shimmer]: omg - is mine too long?
2005-07-21 [Font]: Ill move it to a wiki for you, tut tut can't read instructions :P
2005-07-21 [pixie_shimmer]: omg I did read - I was just being an individual... >_>
2006-01-24 [Kiddalee]: ***has alphabetized the list by book name*
2006-05-17 [Lady of Lore]: okies I'll put up several soon ^_^
2006-05-17 [Kiddalee]: YaY!
2006-07-20 [Calliope]: Err..Wheel of Time isn't really a trilogy is it
2006-07-20 [Kiddalee]: That's true... Maybe someone should ask [grushaj] about that. Except... he's inactive.
2006-07-28 [RiddleRose]: well... the hitchhikers guide is five books, but it's still a trilogy... perhaps we could think of WoT like that? *hopeful look* okay, maybe not.
2006-07-28 [Kiddalee]: Yeah, but the Hitchhiker's Guide is confusing by nature. And that's allowable because it's become a part of the joke. As for WoT, I don't know if the story's confusing because I've never read it, but I don't think the editor meant to make it any more confusing than an author might have. Anyways, it's not like we'll delete the whole review. We'll just get [grushaj] to change its name once we can get a hold of him.
2006-07-28 [RiddleRose]: true true... i have read them, and they are confusing, but not in the same way... more in a, "omg, how did this character get here??? what did i miss???" sort of way...
2007-09-30 [Font]: Could we maybe adapt a part of this and have a recommended reading each month to put on MP?
2007-10-01 [Kiddalee]: We could, if we didn't have to worry about running out of reviews. It's not every day someone reads a good enough book to recommend. Say, what if we link to one on the Community News, on months when not much else is going on?
2007-10-02 [Font]: People could also recommend writings here on WritersCo, but yes I agree there might not always be something good to read for a month, but it would be a good filler for MP on Community News.
2007-12-28 [Kiddalee]: Hey hey, banner!
2007-12-28 [Font]: I finally got a hold of the template ;)
2008-04-01 [Ash]: Cool, you re-organized it!
2008-04-06 [Kiddalee]: Yeah. I figured that some people might be interested in books recommended by the same person, so it would be handy if those of us who have submitted more than one review could have all our reviews close together.
2008-04-06 [Ash]: That's nice.
