We Have Always Lived in the Castle - Book Discussion (via Zoom)

We use the Shared Inquiry Method to discuss interesting pieces of literature, such as this classic mystery by Shirley Jackson. Whether you’re a first time book club attendee or a lifetime member, you’ll be surprised at the thoughtful and entertaining conversations that we generate! Join us as we dive into this haunting tale.

There are four guidelines for participating in a Great Books Discussion:

1. Read the book.
2. Discuss the work - use the text to support your thoughts.
3. The leader is not an authority - there are no right/wrong concepts.
4. Further the discussion by listening and following-up.
