There can be no doubt that the amount of research book group members get around to before a meeting directly impacts on how well the book group goes. Lots of ideas leads to more entertaining discussions. Unfortunately, few of us have the time to read the book group choice and trawl through academic study guides, reviews and literary websites searching for the good stuff.
Study Guides for Book Clubs are designed to help you get the absolute best from your book club meetings. Written to bridge the gap between overly academic study guides and some of the inaccurate web information available, the guides are thoroughly researched but written in an accessible style to suit readers from all backgrounds. Bring the guides along to your meetings and you will have a wealth of useful information to draw on at your fingertips.
Each guide includes carefully selected questions for your group to discuss; useful background literary and historical information; a biography of the author; lists of recommended further reading and a quick quiz. Never again will your book group members be stuck for something to talk about!
