Book Balloon's Short Story of Week Reading Club (#ssm2011)

Short Story Month followers may be interested in this ongoing short story discussion:

Every week, members of Book Balloon (registration is free) discuss a different short story selected by the Library of America. Join the discussion and even consider leading the way! See Book Balloon Short Story of the Week Reading Club for details. And, as I understand it, they plan to open the discussion up to any story, not just the LOA selections--if someone will volunteer to take on the role of host.

Steve Almond on Book Balloon

Book Balloon, the forum for book lovers, welcomes Steve Almond for a Q&A session February 24-26. It's pretty simple: members post questions and Steve will show up from time to time over the three days and answer them. He's a funny guy, so it should be interesting.

Book Balloon is free to join, but you have to join to participate in the Q&A.
