The Guardian just launched its Reading group revolution page, and readers worldwide can choose which book to begin with starting today. Old or new, in English or in translation — all books are fair game under this innovative reading rubric. We’ve been excited about all the new literary and creative nonfiction websites in the past year that have sprung up in order to show us that the big bad Internet didn’t kill reading after all — it improved it. Here are a few websites worth bookmarking to keep you sharp and informed while you are at work, at school, or as you sit in a café for hours and scowl at the patrons without laptops. (Please stop doing that, by the way.) So read on, dear readers, and tell us what new literary websites have been making your life better these days.
Curious about buzz words? Newswordy offers a new one each day during the week, along with its definition, a sample of how it is quoted in the media, and a Twitter feed on the subject in question. Want to know more about those “opportunistic” Londoners rioting? Then head over to Newswordy now!

if it doesn’t have a FACEBOOK link it disappears far, far from my memory. even if I were to bookmark it, I need to both remember the name and have a NEED to remember to search for it.
You’re missing Book Balloon! (www.bookballoon.com) It’s not super new, but it’s the BEST place to talk books with really serious avid readers. (Well, we’re not always serious…)
These are cool sites, but…. Is it just me, or are most of these not really about books at all, and not really of specific interest to “bookworms?”
