Veronica Belmont previously of CNET and now at www.mahalo.com and a cool girl geek has started a new book site called "The Sword and Laser" (found at www.swordandlaser.com). It looks like a cool little social book club type network. The book they are starting off with reading is "The Golden Compass" by Philip Pullman. I think so they can get it read before the movie comes out. Looks like a cool idea and site. Check it out if you are interested.
