Re: Book club - plans

No preferences. But I'm on the 'wrong' side of the globe anyway, so it doesn't really matter to me. I plan to DNF the book, so I won't be able to join in a proper discusson, but I will come by for a probably not so little rant the following day. Because what I've read so far really annoyed me. :D

As to discussion format, I honestly don't know what you could do differently. I think posting your own thoughts and then see what others thought seems to be the only reasonable way to do it.

I know plenty of popular books/bestsellers have 'official' guidelines and questions meant for bookclubs, but those I've seen were all embarrassingly bad questions and focussed on the least interesting parts of the book, so I'd vote strongly against using those.

I think the turnout at the discussion is mostly affected by the book in question. Popular, better known books will generate a higher number of participants. So I'd be really shocked, if this month's discussion would be as deserted as it was last month for Para Handy.

That is really interesting! I'll be interested to hear what you didn't like about it. I definitely had a few issues with it (the MC started out kind of insufferable for example, though actually one of my favorite things about the book overall was how he changed) but overall I really liked it.

Sadly all of the discussions we've had since I re-started the club have been very small. Last month's was only a little smaller overall, not a whole lot. Hopefully this one will be bigger.
