The Rumpus has picked Jonathan Franzen’s Freedom for a special One-Off Book Club. Readers buying the book from Barnes and Noble, Borders, and Amazon won’t be able to join the free club.
What do you think about this policy? Readers have one month to read and debate the the book before September 23rd or 24th–when The Rumpus will host a one-hour online discussion between the book club members and Franzen.
The Rumpus gives these instructions for participation: “You can purchase the book from us or from an independent bookstore. Just send proof of purchase to ‘admin AT therumpus.net’ to join the book club for free. Books purchased from Barnes and Noble, Borders, and Amazon are ineligible. Obviously, it helps The Rumpus if you purchase from us directly, but we also want to support local independent bookstores.”
