Book Discussion Blogging
The question has come up of how we will actually conduct our book discuss in this format. Of course, I have attempted some research. Libraries have dedicated book discussion blogs that branch off of their Web sites or library/branch blogs. Eventually, our library system may move to that if we prove successful. Individual book clubs also make their own blogs. My guess is that in these situations, the blog is arranged so that everyone is invited to register with administrative privileges so that all comments appear on the front. In our case, only my mine do. I envision a discussion that bounces along at its own jagged pace. I plan to make comments about the book and if someone wants to, then I hope she (or he) will just post a comment whenever and not wait to do it as a reply to mine. We will all notice that a comment has been added and will eagerly read it. Quite honestly...this blog doesn't get too much traffic, so any number in the Comment line is notable :) We can then have a dialogue in the Comments section about a particular issue, as needed. That method may not be ideal, but we can experiment with it for awhile. What do you think?
