Summary
Reading groups are one of the success stories of the age. Newspapers are writing about them; celebrities are forming them. There are more than 50,000 people in reading groups in the UK alone, and countless more in the US. This lively and engaging book, which looks at the history and current practice of this modern phenomenon, has now been revised, to bring statistics and listings right up-to-date, and includes a new foreword by Margaret Forster.
