dP does Oprah....?

Introducing a new Ditalini Press spin-off concept: the dP Book Club.
The next best thing to letting a group of people file into your living room and perch on your comfy couches to discuss a book, is to do so on the dP.   Here, we can talk about a book of the month, dipping our virtual crumpets into our virtual teacups together.
Simply participate by reading the book of the month (displayed in the side bar), and writing a post relating to the tome.  Posts may be reactions to content or style, or of a more personal nature.  Heated debates can be conveyed in caps lock in the comments section, boldness unrestrained, everyone insulated by the www from a face slap.
The role of book chooser will rotate from month to month, unless a system of open discussion/brainstorming/voting could be devised.  No restrictions for the moment on genres.
The book for February will be: 'An Object of Beauty' by Steve Martin.
Read it, feel it, post about it, discuss it!  Spread the word, tell family and friends!
Foremost, the dP is still a creative writing blog.  Please note that every month is now 'Writer's Choice.' Mini-topics are still welcome.
Special thanks to Katie for creating crazy good seasonal dP banners!
