Join an Online Discussion Group
If you live in a place where you aren´t surrounded by like minds, you may not be able to get enough people together to make a book discussion group interesting. With the internet, this is no longer a problem - join an online group instead. Many of the social networking sites such as FaceBook or MySpace have books groups, and Yahoo has hundreds of email groups for almost every genre imaginable. These groups can be great fun, and a good way to meet people who share your interests.

How to Start a Book Club for Kids
To start a book club for kids:
1) Invite your child´s friends, or, if you want to reach out and include different members, post a notice at your library, church, or community center.
2) Keep the discussion manageable and allow each child to participate by limiting your membership to ten or so.
3) Set a regular time and place, so logistics and organizing doesn´t become a drain on your time.
4) Share the responsibility by letting other parents and children host the club.
5) Choose fun books. Bring several choices for the next book to each meeting, and allow a vote.

Start an Informal Book Club
Most readers have friends who read. Forget the formalities, and plan casual get-togethers once a month. Have a luncheon, meet for coffee, or gather in the local park for a picnic. Choose a book, genre, or topic in advance, and make sure that all the members know what will be up for discussion. Be sure to allow members to bring guests, and soon you'll have a thriving group.
