The Complete Idiot's Guide to Starting a Reading Group is every book lover's guide to putting together a group and having successful discussions -- or knowing where to find an existing group.
You don't have to be a talk show host to have a group that keeps everybody
reading! You're no idiot, of course. You know that people across the nation are
getting together, swapping ideas, and sharing their love of literature. You also
know how enjoyable it is when you and a friend have read the same book and spend
hours discussing it. But when it comes to actually starting or joining a reading
group, you feel like you can't tell a metaphor from a simile.
Don't go on reading in solitude! The Complete Idiot's Guide to Starting a
Reading Group is every book lover's guide to putting together a group and
having successful discussions -- or knowing where to find an existing group. In
the Complete Idiot's Guide, you get:

Note:
BookBrowse selects from the best and most popular books and features a substantial excerpt of each, usually a full chapter.
The excerptions to this rule are a handful of 'reading guide' books (including this title). In this case, BookBrowse has included the book even though an excerpt was unavailable because we feel it has a contribution to make to this relatively specialized category.
