Do’s”  And “ Don’ts” For Having A  Successful Book Discussion

12. BE SPECIFIC IN SETTING A TIME AND PLACE

2. CHOOSE A DESIGNATED LEADER OR LEADERS TO FACILITATE YOUR DISCUSSION

3. BE RESPECTFUL OF ALL MEMBERS ALLOWING
   EACH TO TALK  AND EXPRESS HIS OR HER
    OPINIONS WITHOUT INTERRUPTION

4. BE A GOOD LISTENER

5. DO NOT DOMINATE THE DISCUSSION
   (AT SOMEONE ELSE’S EXPENSE)

6. STAY FOCUSED AND ‘ON TRACK’ – THE
   PURPOSE OF YOUR GATHERING IS ‘BOOK TALK’ –
   DO NOT BE DISTRACTED BY PERSONAL MATTERS, FOOD OR THE LATEST MOVIE
   (UNLESS, OF COURSE,
   THE MOVIE IS ABOUT A BOOK
   THAT YOU’VE READ)

7. HAVE FUN!!!

LIFE’S TOO SHORT AND THERE ARE SO MANY BOOKS JUST WAITING TO BE READ AND DISCUSSED!!!!!
