The Book Recipe-Book

A recipe book for putting together a book. An interesting and difficult task if ever I've heard one. There are many ideas at work here, and it can be easy to end up with some weird book layouts. So let's first try to digest the larger issues being discussed by each of the titles we've been working with, and then we can try to order them up.

Leah Smartt, Removing Prejudice to Classic Literature: Reconsumption on Goodreads and Amazon
The new accessibility to literary classics within social reading networks like Goodreads influences readers to reread and reconsider titles they'd disliked.

Saren Bennett, Reader Reviews and a Multitude of Views
Reader reviews function differently on different ebook platforms.

(Technology, Social interaction, Criticism)

This might be a bit crude, since I don't know what each person is meaning, but I am seeing that a few different things stand out as explicit and recurring themes. Personal behavior changes due to technology, and Societal changes due to technology. Perhaps you could even divide it into changes of behaviors that are Personal, Interactive, and Societal. 

Technology is changing the ways that we, as individuals, behave.

Thus it is changing the way that we communicate and interact with other individuals.

As our interactions change, our societies change with them.

We could easily have sections divided into those three categories, and possibly a fourth.

I think one of the things that hasn't been addressed is the connection to scholarly works, as well as the conflict between the old guard and the rising technology. We discuss the change and its effects both negative and positive, but we have yet to focus on the actual people involved in the frontlines of that conflict.
