A book glutton, that is…..
Book Glutton is now available in beta. What is it? It’s an online community for readers. You can read books online (mostly public domain stuff right now), join reading groups, or even upload your own work to share with others. One of the coolest features is the proximity chat function. You can do live chat with other people who are enjoying the same book, or even the same passage, at the same time.
Here’s what the creators say about the site in the “About Us” section:
Our intent: build an experience that is simultaneously a book group, a computer, and a book.
We believe firmly that people want to read, annotate and discuss, right there, immersed in the text. That’s the best time to talk about a book. We also respect the solitary side to reading: people should have the chance to tune out the community. We wanted it to be attractive, too; to be an experience.
