• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

    • Don't give offence
    • Don't take offence

    We now allow political discussion, but strongly suggest it takes place in the Steam Room, which is a private sub-forum within Café Life. It’s only accessible to Full Members.

Ooh, interesting! As a reader, I like the idea. As a writer, I'm not sure. It certainly does raise some questions for contemplation and discussion. I'll look forward to hearing peoples' thoughts :)
 
Oh the pain of parting with a book! I have to keep all mine. From an environmental point of view I like this idea more than the books ending up in landfill.
