As you know, the number of book discussion groups has increased dramatically over the last ten years or so. Here at the library, we always know what local book groups are reading when we get 5 or 6 requests for titles such as The Zookeeper's Wife or The Ditchdigger's Daughters, both great choices for discussion.

I saw this article, Fought Over Any Good Books Lately?, in the Sunday Times and heard it discussed on the Brian Lehrer radio show last week. Can any of you relate? I can't, at my book club, we are lucky we agree on most titles and whoever choses the book leads the next discussion. I'm glad we get along and I can now tell my group how much money we save by not needing a facilitator!
