I'll be curious to see how a Twitter book discussion proceeds. Will the 140 character limitation force conciseness, or will people simply http://bit.ly/to more detailed and extensive comments? Or, will the thread be dominated by comments on the order of "Wow, the end of ch1 is a game changer!" (Or all three.)
If you don't have twitter, you can follow the main feed on Twitter here: http://twitter.com/1b1t2010 ... or via RSS here: http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/137474281.rss Of course, to really play you've got to know the conventions of Twitter, including hash tags, @ syntax, etc. The last time I actually tried to learn anything like that, it was when I was trying to retrieve web pages via listserv. Great book to try it with, though. I totally dig the part at the end of chapter 3 where the space ship comes down and every single character dies except for the Puerto Rican janitor and the failed-novelist/history professor.
