Developing online Political Book Groups - the easy way!

I think we would all recognise that to help make democracy work we need to develop more ongoing political education. One way to do this is to run an online political book group. The easiest way to do that is to obtain daily or weekly email parts of books, which you can obtain at The Daily Lit.

Once one person has subscribed to a book they can then upload it to a Ning social network group and then invite others to join the book group of that book and comment on the daily or weekly parts. There are free books like Machiavelli's The Prince that one could read or institutional economist Thorstein Veblen's.Theory of the Leisure Classes which I am just reading myself. I should add there are also many non political books at the Daily Lit if you want to run your own personal online book group on a hobby or on a piece of literature.

I also think this concept of an online book group could work well on Facebook too. If it does take off there you heard it first here!
