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 agree. Something like a currently watching or reading feels like it should be a module in the sidebar or in the text of the entry as an activity rather than an influence. Even still, I wouldn't deny someone if they really wanted it. It wouldn't bother me so I'll vote for and just see what happens.

Yes, it wouldn't affect me if the suggestion were implemented as is, so I'm not opposing it. I'm trying to explore a little what the "current" feature might be for, in case there's a better way to implement the OP's idea.
