That is a good idea. In fact I already wrote a few book reviews on the forum such as Memoirs of a Geisha, Dogs & Demons, Gold Warriors, Snow Country, as well as quite a few othes in the JREF Shop. I also commented on book reviews that were already started like Genji Monogatari.
I also took many isolated ideas and quotations from other books on Japan (esp. regarding history, politics and economy) to start a few dozens topics. For instance my Edo Trivia comes mostly from Andrew Gordon's History of Japan.
Unfortunately it seems that few of our members are disposed to share their impressions on serious books (i.e. non fiction or classics), or do not read much.
