I am pleased to report that AJL READS took place on Tuesday and Wednesday November 1-2 via Facebook Group. We discussed Reading Claudius and we were joined by author Caroline Heller. The group includes 42 members. The author was joined by twelve participants who posted comments and questions, and the stats show that many more members read the posts without speaking up themselves. I was impressed by the thoughtful nature of the questions and answers, and I enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere created by doing the event over a few days.
I'd like to get feedback from those who participated and those who did not. If you took part or followed along without commenting, what did you think of Facebook as a venue? How was the time frame? Did you like having the author participate or did it hold you back from saying anything critical? How was the quality of the discussion? Did you prefer it to a conference call? Would you suggest we use this format again? I'm also interested to know if using Facebook as the venue prevented people from participating. If you did not participate but would have liked to, please let me know what stopped you from joining Facebook for this purpose, and let me know any suggestions you may have for other discussion formats.
