READING IS FUN
More and more people are discovering that sharing and talking about their favorite
books with other can be as rewarding as the act of reading itself. For people who feel
that they are too busy to sit down with a book, a book club helps them schedule time
to read. Others have gained self-confidence by participating in or leading a discussion.
And most people enjoy the chance to make new friends.
A successful book club should have a group that is small enough so even the quiet
people can be heard but also big enough for many different opinions. The best
arrangement is a mixture of ages, sexes, and backgrounds for more reading variety
and livelier discussions.

The book club could specialize in one subject or type of book, like mysteries, science
fiction, or biographies. Or the members could read books of all types, as long as the
book is highly recommended by someone who thinks it would be worth discussing.
Some book clubs meet in places like bookstores, public libraries, or restaurants, but
most have their meetings in members homes. This approach simply offers more
privacy and time for longer meetings.
To make the meeting go smoothly, a leader should be appointed. The leader will
usually start the discussion by asking what the authors main idea was. Book club
members should never be afraid to offer their opinions, even if they dont like a book.
They just need to be prepared to explain why they didnt like something.
