Promoting “long-form reading in a short-form world” the Triad was abuzz about its first BookUP (thanks to TV, radio, newspaper, twitter and facebook). Anyone was invited to show up at Bin 33 restaurant in downtown Greensboro with a book (or e-reader) and read to themselves in the company of others. Social Media Queen Danielle Hatfield was there and posted this blog I cannot improve upon. www.gsotweetup.com/2011/04/meet-who-you-tweet-jomaeder-and-thebookup/
The array of books read was most impressive. Kurt Vonnegut, Khaleo Hosseini, Setve Martin, Alex Prud’Homme, Charlotte Bronte, Dr. Seuss, Patti Smith, David Sedaris, Max Lucado, Lawrence Durrell, Noam Chomsky, Elia Kazan, Man Ray, and more.
