The Huffington Post announced today that they are launching a book club. They are hoping to “create a unique intersection between the digital and physical world,” with their use of Twitter, Facebook and Flickr, allowing readers to interact and discuss the selections. The first official selection for the book club is a title that is already being hailed as one of the best books of 2011, THE TIGER’S WIFE by Tea Obreht. Obreht was one of New Yorker’s 20 under 40 and was was a 2011 National Book Award Finalist.
The Huffington Post Book Club will feature ten books in 2012, starting with The Tiger’s Wife. The club will officially begin on January 3rd and on February 7th they will host a free event at St. Mark’s Bookshop featuring Tea Obreht.
