Picador's New Book Club on Twitter
Picador is a Macmillan imprint that specializes in literary trade paperbacks. Today they are announcing a new book club:

Quote:
Today we are proud to announce the inaugural session of our new book club on Twitter. The Book Club grew out of Picador’s observations of a growing literary community on Twitter, as bloggers, readers and publishers have come together over the past few months on this new social networking platform. We are excited to be a part of this quickly growing venture and to engage with our fellow online booklovers!

...

Our first selection (hashtag #pic1) is paperback original THE HOUSEKEEPER AND THE PROFESSOR by Yoko Ogawa, translated by Stephen Snyder and now an INDIE NEXT PICK (February 2009.)

We will give away 20 copies of the book to Twitter users at 2:00 PM ET Tuesday, March 24th and on Friday April 10th, editor David Rogers will moderate discussion on the book and take Twitterers’s questions.

The following Book Club pick (hashtag pic#2) will be Augusten Burroughs’s A WOLF AT THE TABLE (giveaway Tuesday, March 31st) and Augusten himself will join Picador to host the discussion on Friday, April 17th. For a complete list of upcoming book club picks and more information on how to participate, check out www.picadorbookclub.com.
