just an asterisk

Although I am technology obsessed, I do have other interests.  The largest of which, if you couldn’t tell from my previous posts, is reading.  I spend more time reading on my kindle than on the web  (try to believe me) or anywhere else.  I’m a bit of an addict.  As I’ve posted before, I really can’t find many kindle book clubs out there.

As I normally do on a Sunday, I decided to solve my own problem.  I’ve created a book club for kindle readers using a platform called Ning.  You can get to it at http://kindlebookclub.ning.com.  The site is just getting going, but it should be a place where you can:

1. Share books you think are worthy of being the kindle book of the month

2. Delight your fellow readers with your wit and charm while discussing the current book, or any other that you’ve found interesting.

3. Participate in live events, such as book discussions and debates in real-time using a chat client built right into the site.

4. Buy books directly from the site when the links are posted (via Amazon).

Sound like fun?  If you have a kindle reader and want to join, just head over to http://kindlebookclub.ning.com and participate.  If you don’t have a kindle, you can always just join for fun and the lovely literary banter.  Either way, your life is getting sunnier no?

See you guys there.

It has been a few weeks since my last post, but to get us backing in the “groove”, I’d like to introduce a product called GrooveShark. Disclaimer – I have no idea how this company makes its money or how they justify the service. However, while it’s there and free, you may choose to use it (it’s your decision) until it gets either shutdown or starts to charge for the service. Read more »
