It was a part of some adult reading program, but I never read it so I didn't go to the discussion. The book still sits on my shelf unread. I think I'll have to remedy that! <br /><br />I find the reading guides to be rather insulting. Any reader, book group moderator, or high school teacher/college professor should be able to formulate discussion questions or a lead a general discussion without the publisher providing questions. I just ignore the guides.<br /><br /><a href="http://feedingmybookaddiction.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow"> Grace at Feeding My Book Addiction </a>Grace at Feeding My Book Addictionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05699800520226794140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-68113427392631418962011-08-01T18:16:27.191-04:002011-08-01T18:16:27.191-04:00I just ignore Reader's guides.

It's one of those ones where you can't stop thinking in the dialect of the book. <br />I don't mind reader's guides but I don't read them until I've read the book and made my own mind up. Then I read the guide and see if they got it right! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-16160467474322128592011-07-29T01:04:32.049-04:002011-07-29T01:04:32.049-04:00They dont really bother me.

For a sec...Reader's guides don't bother me. For a second I thought there was something wrong with me: *should* they bother me? Then I realized they don't bother me because there's no way I'd be swayed to think like the author just because of a reader's guide. I sometimes read them just to get a different swing on the novel. It has actually never occurred to me to think like the guide says I should. Interesting notion that they irritate you. Maybe you're thinking of new readers entering the novels, becoming swayed? The teacher in you? I wonder how readers many get irritated, and how many are more like me (skim the guide and don't feel much either way about it)?Jillianhttp://jillianreadsbooks2.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-3654611937449327102011-07-28T09:00:21.632-04:002011-07-28T09:00:21.632-04:00I feel like I have read this book, but I'm fuz...I feel like I have read this book, but I'm fuzzy on the details.
