How does one discuss a book in 140 characters or less? I just came across an announcement of a publisher establishing a Twitter Book Club to help spread the word about its authors’ books. I’ve visited book clubs for discussions of The Wednesday Sisters in person, by phone, and even online, but never in such small bits. And I do twitter. Still, I’m not sure. Is this an intriguing concept, or entirely too short a space to say anything meaningful about any fine book? I’d love to hear your thoughts! – Meg
