Book Club beta closing (farewell)

At this point Book Club has served its purpose as a proof of concept, and the energies behind it will now be folded into several different online ventures. It was a fun experiment, and I greatly enjoyed having a chance to discuss these books with everyone. I was especially grateful to those of you who contributed comments, purchased the books through this site, and, in one heroic case, contributed an essay.

If you enjoyed the book reviews and related essays—never fear, they aren't going away. In the coming year I will be reviewing, for various Websites, a variety of books:

Non-Fiction

• The Art of the Start - by Guy Kawaski
  
• Outliers - by Malcolm Gladwell
  
• The Four Hour Work Week - by Timothy Ferriss
  
• Getting Things Done - by David Allen
  
• The Art of Learning - by Josh Waitzkin
  
• Search - by John Battelle
  

Fiction

• Cryptonomicon & Anathem - by Neal Stephenson
  
• The Great Gatsby - by F. Scott Fitzgerald
  
• Accelerando & Singularity Sky - by Charles Stross
  
• Infinite Jest - by David Foster Wallace
  

...and many, many more. In order to facilitate a clean break with this beta test, I won't be linking to the new sites here; this will be the final update. Please send me an email/IM or leave a comment below if you'd like to be notified when the new sites are available.

Thanks again and happy reading!
