Our library is offering information to those who wish to form a book club
in our area. I have written resources to refer them to. What I need
help with are online sources for questions a leader could use with his/her
group as they discuss popular fiction.

The most comprehensive site for reading group guides
(over 1500 available) is probably this one:
http://www.readinggroupguides.com/
Most of the bigger publishing houses have reading
group guides on their websites - try these:
Random House has several sites, sorted by imprint--
http://www.randomhouse.com/reader_resources/browsetitle/
http://www.randomhouse.com/randomhouse/readinggroup/
http://www.randomhouse.com/resources/bookgroup/
http://www.randomhouse.com/vintage/read/
http://www.randomhouse.com/BB/read/
Time Warner Books--
http://www.twbookmark.com/books/reading_guides.html
Penguin Putnam--
http://www.penguinputnam.com/static/html/readingguides/index.html
HarperCollins--

looking up
something and finding something else along the way. Franklin P.

My book club is doing The Radiant Way by Margaret Drabble at our next
meeting. Does any one out there have any discussion questions? I
haven't had much luck in my searches.
You can respond off list if you like.
Thanks,
Kristina
