How do you insure that your book group discussions are lively and stimulating? What's the leader's role (if any) in managing discussions? How do you choose the best books for your group?

All of you have no doubt addressed these and other discussion group issues, and we would all like to hear how it all worked out! Tell us what you've learned, what's worked, and what hasn't for you. We'll report on your experiences in a future newsletter and on the website, so all of us can have even livelier discussions.

We're interested in hearing about all your experiences, including:

• Managing group dynamics
• Leading group discussions
• Setting ground rules
• Choosing discussible books
• Group settings & formats
• Group size & leadership
• Meeting frequency
• Social & discussion mix
• Book suggestions
• How RGC can help
• Other ideas that groups can use

Please let us know your tips.
