 While reading a book, a club member may reflect on these questions, and research other supplementary materials.

    * Did you like the book? If you have read any of the author's other books, how does this compare?

    * How did you feel about the characters? Whom did you like or not like and why?
    * What did you think of the ending?
    * How did you feel when the character did or said....How do you think the character felt when she did or said...?
    * What do book reviews say about this book or more generally the author, and his past works?
    * What moral/ethical choices did the characters make? What did you think of those choices? How would you have chosen?
    * What is the author's background (his style, stature and focus)?
    * How does the setting figure as a character in the story?
    * Are the characters' actions the result of freedom of choice or of destiny?
    * Is there any moral responsibility that was abdicated?
    * Are there any symbols that may have any references?
    * What type of vision does the author use with his word choice? Is it optimistic, pessimistic, prophetic, cautionary, humourous, satirical, venomous, cathartic?
