Worked Great for Me!!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
I started a reading group about 6 months ago. I started with two friends and recruited the rest of the group over the Internet. This was a great guide and probably prevented me from making a lot of mistakes. I'd never even been in a reading group, so I had no idea there was so much to consider in forming and sustaining a group. Our group is going great, we're still a bit too large, but I'm sure we'll dwindle a bit over this first year. If you're considering starting a group, I suggest reading this book to help you along. Have fun!!
A highly comprehensive survey

A very well edited book that does indeed list a good number of thought-provoking books... I was a little baffled by the non-inclusiveness of the work (most of the authors listed are white males, which does not accurately reflect my personal literary tendencies). Overall a good book that I would nonethless recommend.
