Bloomsbury Guide for Reading Groups

In the last few years, and especially since the BBC's Big Read, the reading group phenomenon has swept the country. But how do you go about finding a reading group in your area, or if you are involved in setting one up, how should it be run and what books should be selected? The guide includes chapters on: Setting up and Running a Group; Readers Guides; Synopses to aid a quick choice of book for discussion; Themes, each of which is accompanied by a brief introductory paragraph, followed by a simple list of cross-referenced titles; Resources - an annotated list of useful magazines, books, websites etc. and Suggested Further Reading - a list of additional, highly recommended titles for discussion.
