Our next selection for the MashableReads social book club is To Rise Again at a Decent Hour by award-winning 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?
If you want to discuss To Rise Again at a Decent Hour with Joshua Ferris in person, join our MashableReads New York Meetup or tune into our Google Hangout on Tuesday, June 24th at 5:30p.m. ET.
You can also discuss the book online by following @mashlifestyle and tweeting with the hashtag #MashReads throughout the month. And stay updated with the latest book news and discussions by joining our MashableReads Goodreads page and Facebook group.
Happy reading!
