We read a set amount of a book on a schedule (2-3 chapters usually) then discuss as a group our thoughts on parts of the story that stood out to us. Sometimes it's predictions for the future, sometimes it's specifics about characters and their relationships to others, sometimes it's a meta-discussion about themes and motifs present in the writing and how they relate to our experiences and lives, and sometimes it's just us sharing thoughts on parts we found to be awesome!
I find it helps to discuss these things with others because oftentimes I can miss certain parts of a story or interpret events in a way that others interpreted differently. Those types of things can lead to super interesting conversations that teach us more about ourselves and the world around us so it's a fun way to get introspective and learn by deepening relationships with others!
They're usually about 1 hour long conversations that are very free-form, so there's not really a right or wrong way to do it—if you want to give it a shot, just find some people with an interest in reading something together and meet up for discussions!
- fuzztester 3y agoGood info, thanks. A person in a WhatsApp group I am in, but not known to me, started such a club recently, so I was interested to know what it was about.
