The New Yorker opened an online book club this morning, taking readers on a month long group reading of the recently adapted Richard Yates novel, Revolutionary Road.

The magazine tested the book club interaction last month with a small team of readers, a group reading of Roberto Bolano's epic novel, 2666. Ranging over email and the comments section, the discussion also included guests like journalist Kate Coleman.

Here's more from the site: "We plan to approach the books as landscapes for exploration, in which we are the park rangers, if you will, examining the flora and the fauna and fending off the occasional wild animal. (Every good book has one.) We hope you'll join us in this ongoing experiment, and lend your voices to the clamor." (Via BookClubGirl)
