Book club questions
Every book in the Superbook library comes with 11 to 13 discussion questions, written to open easily and end somewhere worth arguing about. Copy them, print them, or work through them one at a time. Below are the titles book clubs pick most; the rest of the library has them too.

Running a book club
How many questions does a book club need?
Six to eight for a 60 to 90 minute discussion. Groups consistently overestimate how many they will get through, and working down a long list in order is what makes a book club feel like a seminar rather than an evening out.
What makes a good book club question?
One that can be answered more than one way. Questions with a right answer close a conversation; questions that split a room open it. Ask what someone noticed before you ask what they concluded.
How do I pick a book my club will actually discuss?
Choose books where readers can reasonably disagree about a character or a decision. A book everyone loves equally produces a short, polite discussion. Moral ambiguity is the useful ingredient.
