Scholastic has launched You Are What You Read, a social networking site that asks readers to list the five books that had the biggest impact on their lives and connect with like-minded readers from across the globe.
The site also contains the ‘Bookprints’ of more than 130 notable people from the worlds of entertainment, academia, business, media and publishing.
A separate community for young readers that provides kid-friendly information about books and other activities is also part of the initiative.
