Talk:Book discussion club

message: I tried my hand at adding some useful content here.  Now I need to find a way to spell check properly.
Be advised that I still have some work to do.

thread_title:  Adding content 

message: Possibly.  The thing about Lit. Circles is that teachers might want to access and get ideas on how to organise them in the classroom.  Would they be able to locate "Lit. Circles" if it is incorporated into Book Clubs (I'm new to wikis and don't know these things.)
I think some sort of link would be apt but other links with education, reading, collaborative learning, and maybe others will be necessary. 
There are various books published on the organisation of Lit Circles, which might be listed in Wikipedia. Adults are able to organise their own but children need support structures in place to develop the skills of discussion and analysis.

thread_title:  Merging Literature Circles with Book Club 

message: That whole last section on "book club" as a euphemism for a college drinking game seems at least dubious, and certainly out of place.  I've added a fact tag, but I think it probably makes more sense to delete it altogether. Anson2995 16:06, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: it's been almost two months, and since there have been no efforts to offer citations, or even to argue that it should remain, I'm deleting the section. Anson2995 19:12, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Non Literary Clubs 

message: I think Wikipedia users would be better served by a disambiguation page for "Book club" that points to separate articles for "Book discussion club", "Book sales club", and "Literary Cirlces" since each of these are very different subjects that often use the same name. What do you think? Bryan H Bell 19:13, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. Good idea. Anson2995 13:33, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

text: It's been a few days and I see no dissent for creating a disambiguation page, so I'm going to go ahead and do it today or within the next few days. I've checked through all the articles listed on this article's What links here page. I judge that 53 of the linked articles refer to a book discussion club while 26 refer to a book sales club. Book discussion club seems to be the dominant meaning, but the number of references to a book sales club is not insignificant. I'm going to set the disambiguation page to "Book club", move this article to one named "Book discussion club", and split the book sales club section here into its own article named "Book sales club".Bryan H Bell 22:19, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Splitting Book Discussion Clubs and Book Sales Clubs 

message: It seems like this article is painfully lacking any history of book clubs--what I really came to the page looking for. Would someone be able to aggregate some info on this? In my head this should be the real meat of the discussion....  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Beefbrain89 (talk • contribs) 19:17, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
