Gacked from here, there and everywhere:

Join the ALAN Book Club and become part of a new online group of readers unlike any other on the whole planet! Here’s how it works.
Once a month, the third Wednesday,
9 PM Eastern Time,
we will meet online in the ALAN Chat area to discuss a particular book.
The following Wednesday at 9PM, we will have the pleasure of hosting the author of the novel we discussed for a full-blown Q&A session.

So what do you need to do to join in this fun?
First, read the novel on tap for each month.
Second, send one question for discussion to the moderator at least the day before the scheduled chat. Third, log in before 9PM to make sure you can solve any technical difficulties. Fourth, join the chat at the appointed time and see what happens!"

You can join the bookchat by clicking here. No password is required for log-in! And the first book is SANDPIPER.
