How often have you heard that people spend far too much time in front of their computers and just do not read these days? Adverblog links to this great site created by Colenso BBDO Auckland for the New Zealand Book Council to make reading books more… well, more like reading computer screens.
The home page opens to a windows look-alike where you sign in as guest – and the screen turns into your computer desktop – complete with folders containing different reading genre – I clicked on poetry and found myself reading Brian Turner’s Listening to the river through pie-charts and sales pyramids.
What a superb idea! Definitely go check out readatwork.
