This article is from the Books Review FAQ, by brock@ucsub.colorado.edu with numerous contributions by others.

6. Can this area be used for discussion of books? (rec.arts.books.reviews)

There are newsgroups just for book discussions: rec.arts.books,
alt.books.reviews, rec.arts.books.childrens, rec.arts.mystery,
rec.arts.sf.written, rec.arts.books.hist-fiction, and many others.
I will cross-post most reviews there for discussion and direct
followups by placing "rec.arts.books" and other subject-
specific newsgroups on the "Followup-To:" line. For example, a
book by Isaac Asimov could be placed in rec.arts.books.reviews, and
cross-posted to rec.arts.books, alt.books.reviews,
rec.arts.sf.written, rec.arts.sf.reviews, and
alt.books.isaac-asimov. Reviews of art books may be posted to
rec.arts.fine. There are many other newsgroups that welcome
reviews of books relevant to their areas of discussion.
