VegNews magazine, the top Vegan magazine, just announced a book club all we veggies and veg-curious can join. The blog editors will assign a book per month, both fiction and nonfiction, for club members to read and discuss. The book for July is Mad Cowboy, by Howard Lyman. August is Skinny Bitch (Freedman and Barnouin) and September is The Jungle, by Upton Sinclair (remember that from seventh grade?). All of these books have been out a while, so finding used  and reduced-price copies should be easy.

There are a couple of pluses about online book clubs:

* you don’t have to arrive at a particular time and place, book completely read, to discuss. You can dip into the discussion at midnight from home, if you like. I suspect it will be possible to continue the discussion of a particular book past its specific month, as well, although you may not get as many responses to your comments.

* you can read others’ comments and think before adding your own, or go back to reread part of the book.

And a book club about vegetarianism and animal rights? How rare is that?
