A book club meeting agenda you can reuse

A ninety-minute meeting

The shape

Time	What happens
15 min	Arrive and talk about anything. Do not fight this.
10 min	One sentence from each person on how the book landed.
40 min	Open one question and follow it wherever it goes.
15 min	Passages people marked, then what changed during the hour.
10 min	Next book, next date, next host.

If you only have an hour

Cut the arrival window and the passage round, not the long thread. A meeting with ten minutes of real conversation is worse than one that starts late.

Who runs it

One person opens, watches who has not spoken, and calls time on the last section. It is not a lecture. Rotate the role so the same member is not always half-working.

Before anyone leaves

Confirm the title and edition, the date, and the spoiler rule. Send it in writing the same evening while people still remember agreeing to it.
