The New Yorker Hosts Online Book Club

The New Yorker, quite possibly the coolest magazine on the planet, launched their own book club yesterday. The mag promises “the book club will be an ongoing collaboration between our editors and writers and our audience.”

They also promise to choose works that will generate questions, discussion, and debate. According to The New Yorker website: “We plan to approach the books as landscapes for exploration, in which we are the park rangers, if you will, examining the flora and the fauna and fending off the occasional wild animal. (Every good book has one.)”

This month’s selection is Revolutionary Road, the brilliant 1961 novel by Richard Yates and the basis for the hit film (which was robbed of Best Actor and Actress nominations).

Pop on over to The New Yorker to register; then read and talk amongst yourselves!

    That is so cool!!! I miss my fun Boston book club…all of the bookclubs I’ve seen on meetup.com in my area now are either super pretentious (classics only, wah wah) or super chick-lit (booo). Go New Yorker Book Club!

      WHAT IS A SNARK?




      The Snark is a creature created by Lewis Carroll in his poem "The Hunting of the Snark". To give a proper description of Snarks, one must look no further than Carroll himself, who summed them up in one word: Unimaginable.

      But this much we do know: some have feathers, some have whiskers. Snarks sleep a lot, yet they are an ambitious lot -- with very little sense of humor. They love bathing-machines and tend to bring them wherever they go; they are also handy for striking a light. Snarks live on a far-off island, a place filled with chasms and crags, and are constantly on the lookout for Snark-hunters. Their mortal enemies are hope, care, thimbles and forks.
