New online community for lonely bookworms


Readers and individuals who love their books can make new friends online thanks to the launch of a new social networking site from Scholastic, which links up people who have a compatible taste in books and reading tastes. This new social networking site can be found at www.YouAreWhatYouRead.com and it is free to access and use.

The website builds a profile based on the five books that you say have influenced you the most. These are known as 'Bookprints'.

Users can log into the site either via Facebook or directly through the site's designated website.

There is even a section called 'Names You Know', which lists all of the celebrity users of the site. So far this section includes; Bill Gates, Arianna Huffington and Daniel Radcliffe.
