Most conventional websites are somewhat solitary and inflexible places to share information. Other more interactive sites are dedicated to self-expression and conversation. The EPIC Center has been developed with the understanding that real relationships require actual, real-time interaction — and that relationships can happen with books as well as people.

The EPIC Center allows visitors to participate on many different levels. As you move about the realm, you’ll have the opportunity to not only read how I’ve been shaped by my library, you’ll be able to join a forum dialog on any item within my library. You’ll also see and speak with other visitors’ avatars in a chat dialog box that appears on your viewing area.
