If the idea of coordinating a reading group for the first time intrigues you, but also paralyzes you, summer is the time to cast away those fears. You may find fellow readers at the beach, or the coffee shop that you frequent where you vacation. Then print out our reading group guides to get the conversation started. Odds are that after the first fifteen minutes of chatting, you'll be old pros. After all, a book group is an extension of all those conversations you've had about the books that you've loved over the years.
Summer is the time to throw convention aside.
Likewise, if you are far from home and your regular group, think about starting a discussion with a new group sharing what you've learned from your group, while also bringing a new mix of people into the conversation. We've selected a dozen you might want to explore. Mickey Pearlman's Picks Summer Recipes Yummy treats light on prep time and heavy on satisfaction.
