13 General Book Club Questions For Any Kind Of Discussion. The perfect book club is made up of three key things: a great reading selection, yummy snacks, and a lively discussion.
The first two things are easy to accomplish — just read anything by Gillian Flynn and have a good variety of cheese available — but getting a good dialogue going may be harder than you think, which is why you need a list of general book club questions that will work for any discussion. When the conversation starts to lull, these questions can bring it back to life.
