	Book club - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A book club is a club where people usually meet to discuss a book that they have read and express their opinions, likes, dislikes, etc. They may also be known as book discussion clubs, and meet in private homes, libraries, bookstores, restaurants over meals, etc.
		A book club is also a euphemism for a game meant to keep track of how many alcoholic beverages a group of people have consumed over an unspecified time frame, often played by high school and college students.
		It is common for the number of "books" the group members have read to be listed on a white board or other erasable medium in a common area of a dormitory or cafeteria.

	TomFolio.com: Publishers Information: Identifying Book Club Editions
		There are major differences between the large book club groups, both in the physical quality of the books they distribute and in the manner in which they identify their books.
		A "Book-of-the-Month Club" notation on the book's front flap is not necessarily an indication that the copy in hand is a book club release.
		While the lack of a price when the book is published by a major American publisher is the most common indicator of a book club edition, the fact that there is a price present doesn't always means that the book is trade edition.

		The editor of the book, a Daughter of St. Paul, is the director of the Pauline Center for Media Studies in Los Angeles, Calif., and was a consultant on the film.
		It is a book not only for health care professionals but those who are ill or dying, as well as their caregivers.
		The book has 12 chapters, ranging from “The Numinous, the Medical, and the Moral” (which compares spirituality and morality in clinical practice), to an extended meditation on the biblical “Man Born Blind,” to “Beatitudes” and “The Communication of the Dead,” on what he calls “stranger medicine”—health care professionals as they relate to the bereaved.

	How to start & run a book discussion group/book club (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		A book discussion group (sometimes referred to as a 'book club', sometimes as a 'reading group') is simply a group of people who get together on a regular basis to discuss books.
		Because book clubs/reading groups are most often groups of people meeting informally, often in private homes, there is no one stop resource, online or offline, for finding local groups across the USA (let alone across the rest of the world).
		For example, recently I was asked to find a book club in New York - a quick Google search using the terms 'book club new york' produced a wealth of potential links, including one site specializing in information for newcomers with links to all sorts of clubs and groups, including book clubs.

	Oprah's Book Club - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Because of the book club's wide popularity, many obscure titles have become very popular bestsellers, increasing sales by as many as a million copies at the height of the book club's popularity; this phenomenon is known as the Oprah effect.
		Winfrey suspended her book club in 2002, but brought it back in 2003; the format was shifted, the focus on classic works of literature, starting with East of Eden.
		Oprah's Book Club is so powerful that, when she selected his memoir Night in 2006, just a few months later Time Magazine named author Elie Wiesel as one of the 100 most influential people on the planet.

		Salient points: it's free (the only cost involved is shipping your book to it's new owner), it works on a point system (you have to give away books to receive them) and you can donate your unused points to charities (like hospitals or a library fund).
		The development of library science during the last quarter century has made it evident that a library in the true sense is not merely a certain number of books, but rather a collection of books so arranged that they may be conveniently used for reading or reference.
		The book is Reluctant Capitalists: Bookselling and the Culture of Consumption.

	Amazon.com: Night (Oprah's Book Club): Books: Elie Wiesel (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		When i first read this book I was mad at the Nazis for their inhumanity, but after many decades I learned to redirect and balance my anger at those who led themselves like sheep to the slaughter.
		What I did not remember about this book was that the Jewish sheep fought and scratched, and even killed their own for a scrap of bread, but did not think that they would best be served to act like humans instead of sheep and fight back as many did in the Warsaw ghetto.
		Wiesel's descriptions in the book are fundamentally the story of those who would only take bread from the weakest of the flock as they moved from camp to camp, knowing that their ultimate fate was to die at the hands of the Nazis in the ovens.

	How to lead a successful book club discussion
		Now you need to get the meeting started and, if the group is newly formed or you think needs a refresher, remind them of the 'rules' of your book group and how much time you have to discuss the book.
		It's quite likely one or two might not have finished it (maybe they ran out of time or just found it tedious) - it's not a big deal, this is supposed to be fun, not a test.
		Having said that, if after a couple of meetings you find many people aren't finishing the books in time you might want to review the types of books you're reading and/or extend the time between meetings, or check whether the people who aren't finishing the books actually want to be part of the book club!
