A 'Current Reading' box

Title:
A 'Current Reading' box

Area:
Posting

Summary:
As well as a 'Current Music' box on the Post an Entry page, a box for us bibliophiles who want to mention what's on the bedside table (kitchen table, occasional table, bathroom shelf, etc), without feeling we have to write a review.

Description:
Description as above. I don't know there's a crying need, I'd just like it. Cons: possible incompatibility with LiveJournal? I know it's a trivial thing, it won't change the world or the internet. I can't provide any other details, sorry.

I've voted no; I think that current reading (as well as listening, eating, &c.) should be in the post body, not metadata.

I agree. If it weren't for historical reasons, I would also vote the current music should be in the post body. The only non-legacy justification for having it as metadata is that (unlike all those other "currents") it can sometimes be auto detected if what you are listening to is on your computer. But it's not metadata about the post, not really.
