Strawberry Squatcake Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 I was looking around online since I've never been in an official book club. My sisters and I do unofficial ones where one of us reads a book and shares with another and the second discusses the book as it goes. So that's as far as my knowledge goes. Which isn't really a book club at all. It sounds like generally book clubs meet and discuss at either set intervals (so say once a month to discuss a specific book,or the halfway mark of a book). Which is what it sounds like we'd do by breaking into the three books of the book.Do we want discussion points when we finally get to the end? Reading some of these questions (WHICH CONTAIN SPOILERS!) made my head ache of 7th grade reading comprehension questions. So maybe a more informal discussion would be better.Here are the questions (WITH SPOILERS), if anyone thinks they'd be of use.http://www.litlovers.com/reading-guides/13-fiction/8580-1q84-murakami?start=3 Shape-Shifting Ginger Current Battle Log 2" washers for smaller weight increases Link to comment

Weazley Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Right, still trying to find a version (2 bookshops down and no copy :S ) Maybe I might have to resort to an epub version...

Laureleye Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 I've already read quite a number on this list...I vote for the Elegance of the Hedgehog. Although In Defense of Food sounds pretty interesting. The hardest part of the workout is lacing up your shoes'"10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | Current Challenge |INTJ | MFP | FitBit Link to comment
