New Feature: Coffee & A Book Discussion Carnival

I’d like to introduce a new feature here at AmericanBibliophile.com.  Toward the end of each month, I’ll post discussion questions on a book that I’ve read.  If you’ve read the book, post your ideas (you can answer one question or all of them) on your blog and then come back and sign Mr. Linky.  It’s a great way to see who is reading the same books, and a fun way to facillitate new discussion.  Please join me! 

Upcoming Coffee & A Book Discussion Carnivals
January: The Host by Stephenie Meyer
February: The Friday Night Knitting Club by Kate Jacobs
March: The Time Traveler’s Wife by Audrey Niffenegger

This Month’s Discussion Questions on The Host by Stephenie Meyer:
1. Would you classify The Host as a dystopian read?  Why or why not? If so, how would you compare it to other dystopian novels?
2. What do you think Meyer is trying to say about Christianity and religion? What do you think she is trying to say about our society in general?
3. A lot of people have speculated that those who liked the Twilight series might not like The Host. Why do you think this is?
4. Was the ending satisfying for you? Why or why not?
5. Which characters did you find likeable/unlikeable and why?
6. What overall theme in the book did you relate to most and why?

What do you do next?
- Write a post on your blog (or leave a comment if you don’t have one) answering one or all of these questions.
- Come back and sign Mr. Linky by providing a link back to your post.
- Check out what other people have to say!
