I like how you accept that a low-commitment reading group is sometimes the best option.
I think one of the ways reading groups go wrong is when you don’t put in the intentional effort or accountability to encourage everyone to actually read, but you still expect them to – even though you’re unsurprised when they don’t read. But then, because you wish they had read, you still run the discussion as if they’re prepared. You get into this awkward situation you talked about where people don’t speak since they don’t want to blatantly reveal they haven’t read.
Thanks for writing this post. :)
