June MashReads with Joshua Ferris

Our next selection for the MashableReads (http://mashable.com/category/MashableReads/) social book club is To Rise Again at a Decent Hour (http://www.amazon.com/To-Rise-Again-Decent-Hour/dp/0316033979) by Joshua Ferris (http://www.joshuaferris.com/), winner of the PEN/Hemingway Award. Join us on June 24 at 5:30pm ET for a discussion of To Rise Again at a Decent Hour featuring the book's author Joshua Ferris.

We all cultivate our online identity. But what if our online persona was created by someone else and simply given to us, without our consent? That is exactly what happens to Paul O'Rourke, a social media-averse dentist who discovers that his identity has been stolen. As Paul fights to reclaim his identity, To Rise Again at a Decent Hour forces readers to ask which is more real: the way we represent ourselves online or the real world lives that we live?

We hope that you will be able to join us for a community book club discussion.
