QuestionWhy do we have to read the same book? Can't we all read a different book, pass on our comments at the meeting, and then swap?Community AnswerYou can, but there's a reason things are done the way they are. If you talk about a book no one else has read, you'll be spoiling it for them. Also, no one else will have much to contribute because they won't have read the book and formed their own opinions. Book clubs are usually used for more in depth analysis and sharing of experiences related to one or two topics and themes. If you're trying to talk about multiple books, and only one person has read each book, the conversation will get very muddled and confusing.
