• Ask the group some of the ‘Discussion’ questions – the first ones are usually ice breakers, so this is a good place to start, even with a group that hasn't met before 🙂

  • Go through the ‘Crux’ statements and discuss how far people agree with each (this can get quite animated, with philosophical statements that summarise the book - like 'our past will always define our future', or 'There's always hope somewhere, but you may have to look for it')

  • Ask people to read the Quotes out loud and use the prompts to start a conversation

  • Look at the Reviews and discuss whether you agree or disagree with the reviewer’s opinion, using the prompts. You could also do this in break-out groups - assign one review to each group, and report back with the group's opinions

  • If people have already read the Mind Guide (which might be about something like 'Loneliness'), you could try the Practice (e.g. a mindful meditation) all together or in smaller groups

  • Ask people to read some longer extracts out loud (this can be a really warm and intimate experience, and harks back to Audrey's previous form as a tool for reading aloud)

  • Look at the illustrations – how do they compare to what you imagined when you read the book? Can we interpret some of the more abstract ones?

  • Look through the Book Jacket gallery and vote on the country with the best book jacket!

  • Organise another meet-up to watch or listen to a film or documentary from the ‘Suchlike’ page, or get involved together with one of the Causes.
