Got this info today about a new online book discussion group, Brooklyn Book Talk, sponsored by the Brooklyn Public Library.

Want a new way to discuss books and literature? Can’t make it to your library’s book discussion? Join other readers online! Brooklyn Public Library has started an online book discussion.
We’ve kicked off with “Siddhartha,” Hermann Hesse’s exploration of the tensions between spirituality and worldliness. Future titles include “The Night Watch,” about four young Londoners struggling through World War II, by Sarah Waters and “The Lost Painting,” Jonathan Harr’s real-life detective story from the art world.

Via this online book discussion, BPL will offer entertainment and education by providing a platform for lively, engaging, friendly, and probing discussion and debate, 24 hours a day. All you need to participate is an enthusiasm for books and for talking about them. Discussions will change every month and are led by BPL librarians.
