To sum up,
"At their best, book discussion groups are the epitome of why we became librarians in the first place. We get paid to read a book and talk about it with fellow book lovers. Sounds perfect, but then reality sets in. Book clubs are actually a complicated dance, where we have to balance the content of the book, the act of leading and planning a discussion, and the realities of an ever-changing group dynamic of patrons dragging their own personal baggage to the discussion. And we generally do all of this alone, without the benefit of another coworker in the room to help us manage it all."
