Exciting News!

Author Farzana Doctor has agreed to join the Babble Book Club Monday April 2, 6 p.m. EST/3 p.m. PST for our final discussion of her novel, Six Metres of Pavement. Farzana will join the conversation for one hour on our previously established babble thread to answer all your questions and receive your comments.

As always in the Babble Book Club, we encourage readers to participate and discuss their thoughts and opinions about the novel while reading it — inciting debate and thought amongst other readers. On Tuesday, March 27, about a week before the final discussion, I will take the opportunity to compile some potential questions based on the ongoing discussion to send to Farzana in hopes of creating a more moderated and organized conversation for everyone. However, we do encourage readers to continue the discussion up until the final conversation and beyond, offering any comments and questions as they see fit with respect to everyone on the forum. Check out our previous conversation with Lynn Coady for clarification as well!

For those wanting to join the discussion, here are some easy steps and tips:
1. To ask questions and submit comments, you must register as a rabble.ca user, which creates an account that allows access to babble! Babble is rabble.ca’s discussion board and online community where users can discuss ideas and opinions and signing up is free and easy! Any questions about babble can be answered or asked on this thread as well.

2. The Babble Book Club sets up babble threads before our the final discussion to promote ongoing conversation — check out our existing thread for Six Metres of Pavement. A babble thread just means the ‘page’ where various babble users (babblers) can post their comments and questions. Babblers post in ‘real-time’ and can also quote other users, use emoticons or post links!

3. Farzana Doctor will be joining us at 6 p.m. EST/3 p.m. PST Monday April 2 for a conversation in “real-time,” which just means she will be present for one hour to answer and converse about Six Metres of Pavement. After that the thread is still active, anyone can post at anytime, but unfortunately Farzana won’t be there!

So get signed up for babble and get familiar because Monday April 2 will be here before you know it!
