Goodreads wants you to 'Ask the Author'

Curious about what inspired Margaret Atwood to write "The Handmade's Tale"? Wondering what Michael Pollan really eats for breakfast? Goodreads, the social media site for booklovers, introduced a new feature Wednesday to connect readers with their favorite writers. The program is beginning with 54 authors, who have agreed to select and answer questions from the site's 25 million members. Eventually, all the authors on Goodreads -- more than 100,000 of them -- will be able to offer this feature.
