Start a book club with room for unfinished books.

The conversation can be the point.

The story

A book club can bring people together, but a demanding reading schedule can also keep them away. Decide what kind of gathering you want before choosing the first title.

You might read a short essay, discuss a theme or let everyone bring something different. Tell people whether spoilers will be part of the conversation and make room for those who have not finished.

Keep the structure light enough to repeat. A good discussion does not have to end in agreement, or even in a firm verdict on the book.
