Book Club Quotes

A good book is a kind of paper club, serving to rouse the slumbrous and to silence the obtuse Picture Quote #1

I have this book club, and we don’t read one book; we offer up a few suggestions and create a library over time Picture Quote #1

There is that lovely feeling of one reader telling another, ‘You must read this.’ I’ve always wanted to write a book like that, with the sense that you are contributing to the discourse in middle America, a discourse that begins at a book club in a living room, but then spreads. That is meaningful to me Picture Quote #1

Most book things now (with a few exceptions) are just built around nice, safe books written for nice and safe book club readers. These are usually the books you see on display at Barnes and Noble. These Internet writers are like literary terrorists to me. They’re training as we speak. They’re getting ready to invade. They’re building an army Picture Quote #1

It’s because of libraries that books like mine get recommended to book clubs and avid readers, who in turn pass them onto others looking to be whisked away from the world for a little while...and perhaps to learn a bit about themselves in the process Picture Quote #1

I’d love to have a 19th Century Russian book club where all the members had to act like the pretentious minor noblemen they were reading about Picture Quote #1

Maybe just as many women writers as male writers could be billed as the next great American writer by their publisher. Maybe book criticism sections could review an equal amount of female and male writers. Maybe Oprah could start putting some books by women authors in her book club, since most of her audience is women Picture Quote #1

Emily wondered whether Artie would be so carefree if he knew The Book Club was performing grand theft imagination Picture Quote #1

One old lady who wants her head lifted wouldn’t be so bad, but you multiply her two hundred and fifty thousand times and what you get is a book club Picture Quote #1

I interviewed - no - had lunch with Harper Lee several years ago, trying to convince Harper Lee to do To Kill a Mockingbird for the book club. She wouldn’t do it. She said, Honey, I said everything I wanted to say Picture Quote #1

I feel very discouraged with the state of gay and lesbian publishing because I don’t feel like we’re really welcome in the mainstream and then you get ghettoized and put on some lesbian book club reading list where you don’t want to be either Picture Quote #1

My website inspired me to create my book club and provides me with a creative outlet where I can write about things that interest me. It’s a platform where I can present ideas or new ventures and get feedback straight from the people who mean the most to me Picture Quote #1

I tried documentaries.It wasn’t the time for me. I was going to try to do the same thing, I did make a valiant attempt but it did not work - to do the same thing with documentaries that we had done with the book club [in 2011]. The zeitgeist wasn’t ready. It just wasn’t ready Picture Quote #1

Having the book-club army embrace you is a gift that keeps giving for years Picture Quote #1

I guess my most prized pop culture possession is a signed first edition of the book ‘Fight Club’ by Chuck Palahniuk Picture Quote #1

My mother had a book club that would dissolve into opening wine Picture Quote #1

Sequels are very rarely a good idea, and in any case, the success of the book changed my relationship with the club in some ways Picture Quote #1

Book clubs are the best thing that has happened to the world of publishing Picture Quote #1

What’s the point of having a book club if you don’t get to eat brownies and drink wine? Picture Quote #1

We're all in the end-of-your-life book-club, whether we acknowledge it or not; each book we read may well be the last, each conversation the final one Picture Quote #1

For most people, what is so painful about reading is that you read something and you don’t have anybody to share it with. In part what the book club opens up is that people can read a book and then have someone else to talk about it with. Then they see that a book can lead to the pleasure of conversation, that the solitary act of reading can actually be a part of the path to communion and community Picture Quote #1

…She was, obviously, one of those women whose polished words may reflect a book club or bridge club, or any other deadly conventionality, but never her soul Picture Quote #1

I have this book club, and we don’t read one book; we offer up a few suggestions and create a library over time Picture Quote #1

I do, in fact, have a book club. I meet with a couple of guys once a month of a lunchtime discussion of some interesting text, usually, but not always, philosophical Picture Quote #1

I feel very discouraged with the state of gay and lesbian publishing because I don’t feel like we’re really welcome in the mainstream and then you get ghettoized and put on some lesbian book club reading list where you don’t want to be either Picture Quote #1

Start locally and build. Start small and grow. Start in your house, then move to your school, your book club, your gym, your church, your temple, your city Picture Quote #1
