A Treasure For Non-Fiction Book Lovers

If you're a fan of non-fiction literature, there's a site on the Web you simply don't want to miss-especially if you'd like to learn more about the authors who pen these fascinating works. It's called Booknotes.org and is really one big archive of about 800 interviews with notable 20th century non-fiction authors that originally aired on Booknotes (a television program of the C-SPAN network), that ran from 1989 to 2004.

The site's highlights include:
  • complete written transcripts of every one of the 800 programs

  • streaming video of hundreds of the original 800 shows

  • the ability to search the archive by keywords

Though not an online book club in the strict sense of the category the site nonetheless is a valuable resource for book club members and book lovers everywhere.
