You can read all the online book reviews in the world, but nothing beats real-world conversations between readers and authors.

In an ongoing effort to build community among readers, writers, and publishing types in real life, we are hosting our next Mediabistro Book Club tomorrow (February 15th) from 6:30 until 8:30 pm at Bar 13 on
35 E 13th Street in New York City.
