book discussion groups for menbook discussion groups for menRE: book discussion groups for menColleen Knight2008-08-28T15:22:09Z2008-08-28T15:22:09ZWe are having moderate success with the Foreign Policy Association's Great Decisions. The book has essays on foreign policy issue and each month we discuss a different issue. This is an annual book. There is also a DVD with a 20 minute segment on each topic. Some of this years topics are Iraq, Russia, US-China economic relations, and Latin America.<br /><br />Some issues have been more successful than others. Iraq, of course, had the most attendance and also the most spirited discussion. The one on the EU was a flop.Colleen Knight2008-08-28T15:22:09ZRe: book discussion groups for menJanie Hermann2008-03-19T16:14:14Z2008-03-19T16:14:14ZWe have a book group that currently meets at Princeton Public Library called "Talking Politics" and it attracts an equal mix of men and women. Here is the description:<br /><br />Talking Politics<br />This discussion group is for people who enjoy reading and talking about politics. Joan Goldstein, sociologist, author, and professor at Mercer County Community College, will provide overviews, suggest discussion questions and mention pertinent further readings.<br /><br />Some of the recent books discussed by this group include:<br />Al Gore, The Assault on Reason. <br />Barack Obama, Dreams from my Father: A story of Race and Inheritance. <br />Lou Dobbs, War on the Middle Class.<br />Arrogance: Rescuing America From the Media Elite by Bernard Goldberg<br /><br />In the past we had a successful Non-fiction book group that met for several years moderated by two librarians who were on staff. This group also attracted men and women in equal meaure.<br /><br />I would love to hear about a book group that someone has marketed just for men... surely one must exist!Janie Hermann2008-03-19T16:14:14ZRe: book discussion groups for menBob Watson2008-03-17T17:27:36Z2008-03-17T17:27:36ZI wish I knew of one ... but that's one heck of an interesting question!Bob Watson2008-03-17T17:27:36Zbook discussion groups for menMegan Doyle2008-03-17T15:58:01Z2008-03-17T15:58:01ZDoes anyone know of a library that is having success with a male oriented book discussion group? I am particularly interested in examples of adult groups, but would also appreciate info on children's and teen's groups.Megan Doyle2008-03-17T15:58:01Z
