Our book group tried twice. And it was a short lived evening. One was by Nora Ephron, Something about her neck( I think). The other were short stories in about Moses. We picked 2 stories in the book. We tried this out when our book group first started. It was awful. I would love to hear if there were any success stories. What worked. Are there generic questions out on the web that works. I wanted to try again but better prepared questions etc. I would like to know too. Our book group tried twice.
