Book related websites just for fun
Book related websites just for fun
7:59 AM EST 11/8/06
Some of my favorite book related websites do not fall neatly into the RA category but are fun to read and do feature books. One example is [url http://www.gpl.lib.me.us/wrw.htm]Who Reads What? Celebrity Reading[/url]. This site is sponsored by Thomson Gale and edited by Glenna Nowell of the Gardiner Public Library, Maine. Nicely laid out, the site has yearly lists of what celebrities are reading and includes a name index in case you are looking for a particular celeb. In the 18th Annual, 2006 list, you'll find such notables as Barbara Delinsky, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sue Grafton, Archer Mayor and Governor George Pataki, New York.

I'm not sure if you guys have already talked about this (I'm not caught up on my lurking!) but Nancy Pearl has an online community for people who love books. Wouldn't you know it, it's a wiki too!

Here's another that might be of interest:

[url http://www.achievement.org/autodoc/books ]Academy of Achievement[/url]

Here you'll find books that made a difference in the early lives of the most eminent achievers of our times.
