Oprah.com is joining forces with CNN.com and Facebook to present a LIVE Oprah’s Book Club interactive web event on Monday, November 9, 2009 at 9:00 pm Eastern Standard Time in the USA (that’s 4am on Nov 10th in South Africa) with author Uwem Akpan!
The webcast will be a 90-minute worldwide event, during which readers can submit their questions for the author and potentially be featured during the live discussion.
The special online event will be streamed live simultaneously from CNN.com’s video player on Oprah.com and CNN.com and will utilize Facebook Connect, enabling users to comment through their Facebook profiles without ever leaving the live webcast.
As the biggest book club in the world, Oprah’s Book Club has nearly 2 million online members. Enrollment is free and provides members with access to benefits such as online discussion groups and reading questions.

The iReport submissions, along with questions or comments submitted via Oprah.com and Facebook, may be incorporated into the live online event.
