Alice in Wonderland
.
(Re)read the classic and share it with your children. See how it compares to the blockbuster 3D movie. What a great literary adventure for the whole family!
Fun and Serious
There should be enough pressure to finish a book without feeling like you’re under an enormous time crunch. Try meeting every 6-8 weeks instead of every month.
Structure and Flexibility
Structure the meeting so that people feel relaxed and have time to socialize but make sure time is designated for the book discussion. Too much book talk may feel imposing but too little will feel like you’re not actually in a book group. We socialize for about an hour over cocktails, then we sit down to dinner and talk about the book. By the time we’re ready for dessert we’re back to socializing!
Effort vs. Ease
We meet on Sunday evenings from roughly 5-8pm. Typically we each host about once every 12-18 months so there isn’t too much pressure. The host provides the main course and everyone else brings appetizers, side dishes, desserts, wine, etc.
Size Matters
We have about 12 members and typically 8-10 people come to a meeting.
