Starting a book club with friends, step by step
Reading alone is good, talking about it together is even better.
A book club is just a few people reading the same book and meeting to talk about it. You don't need to be a bookworm: the point is sharing opinions and discovering new styles.
Start small and simple
Three or four friends, a book that isn't too long, a date to discuss it: that's the right format to launch. Rotating who picks the book keeps everyone involved and curious.
Ask real questions
Instead of "was it good?", ask which character annoyed everyone, which scene stuck, what you'd have changed. Disagreements make the discussion lively and push you to read on.
