One Book, One Twitter (#1b1t) is an effort to get everyone on Twitter to read the same book this summer. Usually such “Big Read” programs are organized around geography. Seattle started the trend for collective reading in 1998 when zillions of Seattlites all read Russell Banks’ book, Sweet Hereafter. Chicago followed suit with To Kill a Mockingbird a few years later.
This Big Read is organized around Twitter, and says to hell with physical limitations.

The current selection is American Gods by Neil Gaiman - who talks about the Twitter book club, and the selection of his book, on his blog. Follow @1B1T2010
