Inhaltsangabe

Across America, people are rediscovering their love for books and learning - and the joy of talking about what they've read. In cities and suburbs, small towns and the country, reading groups have become the rage as people of all ages and interests join together for intellectual and social stimulation.
Now the New York Public Library, which has provided guidance for reading groups since the 1920s, has teamed with Rollene Saal, formerly the editor-in-chief of the Literary Guild and editorial director of Bantam, to create the definitive companion for first-time and long-time members everywhere.
Whether you want to start a group or are already an interested member, The New York Public Library Guide to Reading Groups provides practical advice on how to stimulate well-balanced discussions. From the nuts and bolts of forming a group, to setting the tone of your particular circle, to selecting the best books, you will find all the guidance you need - as well as anecdotes from other groups around the country.
