Rant: A book club member told me my questions were too simple
At our meeting last month for 'The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo', I was leading and asked stuff like 'Did you like the ending?'. Sarah from Portland said, 'Your questions feel safe, like we're just agreeing. Push us to argue about the characters' choices.' She was right. Now I prepare two 'debate starter' questions, like 'Was Evelyn's final choice selfish or brave?' for our next book. It totally changed the vibe. Has anyone else gotten advice that flipped their book club talks?
