BOOK GROUP CULTURE
What do you know about the history of book groups? Have you read any "Oprah books"? What do you see happening in the aftermath of The Oprah Book Club?
WHY A BOOK GROUP - HOPES, GOALS, MISSION
Are you getting what you hoped out of your book group? Would you change anything about your group? Does your group have any rules? What's your group's "mission"?
WHAT YOU READ - READING GENRES
Do you read fiction or non-fiction or both? Are there any kinds of books or any particular authors your book group simply will not read?
TROUBLESHOOTING
Pretend you are running a book group advice column. Give us the dirt on problems you've experienced with your group
and offer a bit of advice.
WHAT YOU READ - READING TASTES AND PRACTICES
How far in advance do you choose your books? Who is responsible for this choice? Do you read (or refuse to read) "hot" bestsellers? What's your favorite book group book?
DYNAMIC DISCUSSION
How do you prepare for discussion? Does your group have an appointed leader? What are some creative, special activities you've enjoyed with your group?
WHAT YOU READ - THE A-LIST
If you had to choose the top five books that would make for perfect reading for a book group like yours, which titles would you choose, and why?
