“What was the first book targeted towards adults you read that still has an impact on your life?” -Michael Morris, Discussion Leader — In-person ONLY

Depending on the number of participants and the will of the congregation, this discussion will take one of two forms:

  1. Stay as one group, and ask participants to give examples of their own personal experience with the topic and why, and how the book still impacts them.
  2. Divide into smaller groups to allow for more back and forth about the specific books and personal impacts.

In either scenario, questions might include:

  1. What makes a book something that will have a life-long impact? Does the genre matter?
  2. Was the book self-chosen or a gift? If a gift, does the recipient know if the giver was hoping to have such an impact?
  3. At what age was the book read? Do you reread it?
  4. Should religious texts be included in this discussion?
