Introduction & This Week's Featured Discussion Guides

With over 500 free reading group discussion guides at BookBrowse you're sure to come away with a long reading list.

You can browse reading guides by title, author or genre.

In addition you'll find a special page dedicated with book discussion groups, with plenty of good advice on starting and running your book club.

All discussion guides in BookBrowse are backed by a substantial excerpt from the book, multiple reviews (with no plot spoilers!) and more often than not, an author interview, so you have everything you need to decide which books are exactly right for your book club. You can even use our useful 'email this page to a friend' option (top right of every page) to email links directly to your friends so they can take a look too.

We usually add at least a dozen new reading guides each month. All reading guides are free and 'printer friendly' but it can be difficult to keep track of all that's new, so you might wish to consider becoming a BookBrowse member, because members receive a monthly newsletter with topline summaries of all the new reading guides, plus a wealth of other benefits. More about membership.
