Friday, March 5, 2010 at 10:46PM Tom and I have been discussing the Ning group lately, and we've decided that Goodreads.com is much better suited for handling our types of discussions. They have really great tools on the site for book clubs, and we think it would be a good place for us to grow going forward.
Now, we imagine some of you are very attached to the Ning page, so we're not going to be deleting it. We also know that joining yet another site can be a pain. But Goodreads is dedicated to books in a huge way, and they have the resources to enrich our discussions.
We already have 77 members signed up! If you're interested in taking the discussion there, please join in. Tom and I will be devoting most of our discussion time over on that site from now on.

discussion Interview with Cory Doctorow – The S&L Podcast #028
Posted on Wednesday, February 17, 2010 at 12:29AM
Wednesday, February 17, 2010 at 12:29AM As a wrap-up of "Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom" we finally snag an interview with the author of the Sword and Laser book club selection. Cory Doctorow is always a fun person to chat with, and this episode is no exception. We do query him on some of the thoughts behind Down and Out, but also about writing and the publishing industry in general. We also let him pick our next book!

Thanks Alden! Kind of wish I had known that before I bought the hardcover, though I don't mind paying either :)
