...But book clubs were lonely, left to discuss books on their own. And they would go astray. So Publishers said, “It is not good for clubs to be all alone”…and in their wisdom they gave clubs the Reading Guide...
Today, the reading guide - with its 15 or so book discussion questions - is ubiquitous, or almost. Book clubs have come to depend on them for leading their discussions, while publishers, hoping that clubs choose their titles, are happy to supply them.
Given their importance to book clubs, an important but pretty simple question should be asked: are reading guides really useful?
