Have you ever wondered what people in a book club discuss?  Some books lend themselves better for discussion than others but a good discussion can help the reader look at the book in a different light.  For example, House of Sand and Fog is a page turner but difficult to read.  One’s emotions are on a roller coaster while reading it.   I have not read the book in a discussion but would love to talk to people about the book and the motivations of the characters.
