I just read a very interesting article on reading. It mentioned a trend that many kids are now reading online instead of printed books. One reason given was that:

"'The Web is more about a conversation,' he said. “Books are more one-way."

I think this is dead on. This is one of the main goals of Goodreads: to bring the conversation to books. And we're always looking for better ways to make reading more fun.

If you have any ideas, please post your ideas here. Would you like to see reading a book as a group activity with a conversation built-in?
