Recently I read a book that Blew. Me. Away. It was different from anything I had read before – and I always find it refreshing to break out of the cookie-cutter mold of same plot… similar twist… you know what I mean.

But – like all books… what the takeaway is – depends on the individual; and like all books – when I look at reviews, you can see the mix of the love and the not so much…
So….
For myself, being in a Book Club for over 24 years… I am starting to wonder…. when I read a book, is it the anticipated discussion that makes me want to share it with the world… or is it the book itself? Honestly, I don’t always know… 😛

No secret that I love to talk about books, and the particular book I am thinking of has soooooo much to unpack… topics I would love to discuss with others…
How would we/you/I handle such a situation?
Would you be able to ever forgive?
Was justice served?
What outcome would you have liked to see happen?
What lessons came out of this for our protagonist?
Who did you root for?

This is not the first time I have rated a book high because of its discussion value… SO – I present the question to you. For those in Book Clubs or reading groups, does a book get elevated because it would make for great discussion?
Inquiring minds want to know.
