NY Times Blog: Social Books Hopes to Make E-Reading Communal
There have been and are many forms of online book clubs, but Social Books is trying to take online book club to a new level. Interacting with Facebook and Twitter and via an e-Reader app where you can comment directly about a book. Seems like a fun toy but I’d rather have a glass of wine and my girls for some live conversation given the choice.

1world1book.com is a new online book club on a mission. They pick a book every two months and a charity to go with it and every book purchased through the site benefits that charity. Of course you have all the usual online discussion options – but now you’re doing something good too.
Are you in an online book club? If not would you consider it! Why or why not? And PS – don’tcha just love the bag? Feel free to comment here on the blog, or email me at dana@bookreporter.com.
