One Book One Twitter Book Club

One Book One Twitter Book Club - Summer, 2010

"What if everyone on Twitter read the same book at the same time and we formed one massive international book club?" Jeff Howe, contributing editor for Wired Magazine and author of the book Crowdsourcing, asked and answered his own question by forming the "One Book One Twitter Book Club".

Via Twitter, nominations were collected, top selections were posted, and the book with the most votes won. The winner for summer 2010 is American Gods by Neil Gaiman. Published in 2002, this book was the recipient of multiple literary awards including the Hugo, Nebula, Locus, and Bram Stoker Awards as well as a New York Times bestseller...

"Just released from prison, Shadow encounters Mr. Wednesday, an enigmatic stranger who seems to know a lot about him, and when Mr. Wednesday offers him a job as his bodyguard, Shadow accepts and is plunged into a dark and perilous world. "
