The best place to discuss books for me are still online forums and sites such as LibaryThing and Goodreads.

I hadn't thought about joining an online book group and quite like the idea as this way I can post ideas as I go on the book and get live feedback from bigger groups of people.

Generally, from what I have noticed, is that used bookstores hold most of the book clubs. That's how it is where I am from anyways. I would recommend checking to see if there are any in your area. I feel pretty lucky as well considering my town only has one used book store and they have multiple book clubs being held there.klbradley wrote:I have always liked the idea of joining an in-person book club, but I don't think they are much of a big there where I'm from. Our public library doesn't even get as much traffic as I would think. My son and I visit there very frequently, and hardly ever see anyone there doing much but browsing the internet.

The reason that I left them was because I have a difficulty with remembering titles and indeed authors which can make it difficult to discuss. I also have the same problem with films and names of famous actors! Despite this I love reading.
