Mod query: "Blogging the Qu'ran"

[puritybrown.livejournal.com]

I was reading up on postmodern theorists when I happened to find Blogging the Qu'ran, a project on the Guardian blog site run by Ziauddin Sardar and Madeleine Bunting in which Sardar, a British/Pakistani Muslim (and postmodernist theorist -- I love his work), reads through the Qu'ran and comments on it, Guardian readers add their comments, and then Sardar and Bunting marshal the comments together, answer questions, and add further thoughts.

Now, this is not a "who's PoC?" question (Sardar is, Bunting isn't; their photos are right there on the website); it's an "is this a book/sufficiently booklike?" question -- because I think that if you counted the number of words in the blog posts, it would probably amount to something booklength, and it does seem to form a coherent self-contained series, but the back-and-forth nature of the "entry-comments-reply-to-comments" format is... well, it's a blog, innit? I'm probably going to read it anyway, but I'd like direction as to whether I should talk about it here.
