Reading a new story alone is often a great way to relax. However, sometimes you just want to discuss what you've read with another person to bring those ideas off the page and into the world.
First, find members. When you begin searching for your book club members, look in the places in your life that feel most natural to you. Then, maybe it's posting a notice on the bulletin board of your local library or bookstore. If you're looking to "get a range of perspectives" from your club, you may want to consider looking for a diverse range of ages and genders. They can bring their varied world views to discussions.
Will your time together be spent largely focusing on the novel at hand, or will refreshments ultimately be the most important? There's the typical friends gathering at someone's apartment and having cheese and wine approach. But oftentimes, people will be frustrated because they just turn into a social event rather than focusing on the book. In order to make sure your new group is all on the same page, take the time to discuss what you want to get out of regular club gatherings before your first official meeting.
Picking books may seem like the trickiest part. Books that work really well are ones that allow you to reflect on self. They have a lot of entry points for people so they probably have a good setting. The pacing is solid. There's great character development and the language doesn't get in the way of the story.
Before your meetings, list some discussion questions. Remember to come up with questions depending on your book's genre: romance, mystery, thriller and so on. For example, you may ask which scene has stuck with them the most or whether there are any standout sentences.
