Are book clubs fun??????????

I want to start a book club this summer with my friends. I was thinking about inviting 5 friends? Is that a good amount?



How many times should we meet a month?



Would a library be a good place to meet?



Are book clubs even fun?



THANKS! P.s. give me any other info abut book clubs u know. thanks!Are book clubs fun??????????
Here was a simple guide : http://bestsellers.about.com/od/bookclub鈥?/a>

I think it should be once a month, people get busy.

A very important thing about a book club is the discussion. Make sure you have prepared lots of higher order comprehension questions about the book so that it's not like "This girl was nice" and is more like "Sally was a very placid and friendly character, because she was over compensating for her past" etc. So that there's something for people to discuss and share their different ideas about.



You can't have food in a library! I think book clubs should have food :)



Fun is what you make it.
It all depends on who's in the club with you, and what you're choosing to read. The frequency of your meetings should be based on what you choose to read, to make sure everyone has time to read what you're choosing. 5 or 6 is a good number - that way you can have good discussions with multiple opinions. The library is a good place, but you should go there and ask if they have a room where you could meet and not bother anyone else.Are book clubs fun??????????
The amount is good, as long as they enjoy to read ;)

2-4, depends on how hard it is to get to places where you will be meeting. Do it as frequently or non-frequently as you guys can. The best book clubs that keep you involved meet at least 2 times a month, but no more than 4. You don't want to disrupt their own schedules with your book club's, it's just rude.

Library, bookstore, coffee shop, any quiet place where you can chat freely. If they are comfortable doing this, you can rotate going to each others homes! Only if they are comfortable with this though.

I think they are quite amusing for the kind of people who enjoy them. Make sure that everything is easy for the members to do, and that you pick good and engaging books. I believe book clubs are very educational and they are good for friendships. Especially small book clubs like the one that you suggested.

Hope you have a great summer!

It depends on what kind of person you are.



I usually turn the book discussions into an argument so I just had to leave the club.

I'm a fast reader and a deep thinker so most people see me as being a cocky know-it-all.



I'm really opinionated so a simple chat about what Edgar Allan Poe's raven represented was turned into a mild fit.

=P



If you think you can go for it then go ahead. I prefer to read alone.



All of that meeting in a certain place and times should be up to you and the members, and what is easiest for them.Are book clubs fun??????????
im in one and i asked for a book over a month ago and its still not here!!!
i wouldn't meet at a library. i would make sure everyone has the book before the event and meet at someones house. if you guys are friends it will be fun. you can just talk about the book. Make sure to read at the same rate!!
