Let’s get it started
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Where do we begin? Harry Potter? Jane Austen? The power of Oprah? The price of paperbacks?
Like the T-shirt says, “So many books, so little time.”
Welcome to The Book Page, ajc.com’s new blog that’s all about books, and mostly about books in Atlanta and hereabouts. Go ahead and bookmark us now. If you like to read, this may be a place you want to come back to on a regular basis to see what’s going on.
The Book Page will have a daily stream of news about authors who are coming to Atlanta to sign and talk about their books. We’ll talk about Atlanta book clubs. We’ll have debates about specific books that are selling big or making news or just plain worth discussing. Which means we’ll talk about everything, eventually, from God to Google.
Most of all, we’ll interact. My name is Phil Kloer, and I’ve been a writer and editor at the AJC for 22 years. I was TV critic here for many years, and pop culture critic, and arts editor, and now I work on our dot-com side. I read a lot of stuff, and wish I had time to read more.
I’ll introduce the topics, but listening to me pontificate can get pretty deadly — just ask my Well-Read Wife. So this is about being a community of engaged, opinionated readers who talk to one another.
Because the Decatur Book Festival starts Friday, and that’s the 800-pound gorilla of ATL book events, we’re gonna blog a lot about the DBF this week. But then we’ll go wide. What would you like to see here? What should a good book blog do? Let me know.
