June 2008 Archives

Tonight I have added a list of 'upcoming books' in the sidebar where new books that will go 'live' on the site will be announced a week in advance, giving you the chance to contact others who might be interested in reading the book together.  For this purpose I have also added a 'mail this to a friend' form to all new books.

Note that you can also follow the announcements about new books on Twitter here...

Tonight video commenting was turned on for all blog posts and chapters on the entire site!  Simply plug in your webcam and/or microphone, surf to the end of a chapter and click the link labeled 'Click here to add a video comment'.

Also, the design of the 'main' page of each book was altered so only the first 100 words of each chapter will be displayed.  This is to avoid the pages becoming too long for books with many chapters.

Tonight we added a few more books to the database, including 'The Mysterious Affair at Styles' by Agatha Christie and 'Les Miserables' by Victor Hugo.  Note that these books won't begin publishing immediately, there is a lag time of a few days.

In other news, we switched on anonymous commenting to make it easier for you guys to leave your opinion on the various chapters being published.  Looking forward to hearing your opinions!

Well, here we go!  Not much to see here yet, but we should have some real content up pretty soon...
