Reading A Book
For Your Book Club Tea Party

Believe it or not, reading a book for your book club tea party is different than reading for enjoyment.

The following are some suggestions of notes you may want to make as you read. This saves a lot of back and forth reading and searching for quotes of a character, or points the author makes that you would like to expound upon in your discussions.

You may want to do things like:

make notes of great quotes from different characters.

make note of important page numbers. (or Chapters if your book club is using different publications.

draw interesting comparisons of a character's virtues and vices - make note of how one opposes another and the conflicts it creates with other characters.

make note of social issues and the affect it has on the lives of the characters.

is the book narrated by one of the main characters or an on looker? Does this enhance the book?

Make note of any inspirations that hit you as you are reading. You may not end up using it for discussion and/or it may not make sense when you reference back to it to expound upon it for a discussion question, but it also might lead to some really great conversations.
