"Everything is Miscellaneous" book club selection

Everything is Miscellaneous (New York : Times Books, 2007) is a new book [May 1st, 2007] by David Weinberger that is getting a big reaction from the library community and others in information professions (journalism, publishing, etc.).

Here is a video of David giving a talk on the Google Campus (57 min - May 10, 2007): http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2159021324062223592&q=type%3Agoogle+engEDU

LAUC-I (Library Association of the University of California - Irvine campus) is putting together a book club and Weinberger's book is set to be the first title we read.
