What if some people who attend haven’t read the book or haven’t finished the book?
This is tricky at best, but may happen frequently. Even if people don’t finish the book, they will want to be involved in the group. A successful group will include people of all interest levels and abilities. During discussion, take a moment to fill them in on any plot developments they need to know. Don’t avoid giving away details just because one person didn’t finish the book – that is unfair to the people who completed the reading. Someone who attends a book group without reading the book may find a greater enjoyment of the book from listening to the discussion, but should expect that the group will still “give away the ending.
