> It's also possible that purely language/framework books That has been my experience. The best book club discussions (we do probably 10 different groups a year for 5+ years at this point) have been for books like The Pragmatic Programmer, Rework, Lean Startup, etc -- ones that focus more on a methodology or have room for discussion about trade-offs. Framework/language specific books tend towards the reference material side of things and don't have much room for discussion. One exception is the Seven Languages in Seven Weeks book -- we would work the exercises on our own and then meet together to discuss and share our solutions.
