My book club has an interestingly intellectual way of approaching literature — with lots of research materials, dozens of post-it notes on the book pages, and nary a glass of Chardonnay in sight. However, I have not seen them use information direct from the publisher. It can be really useful in directing a discussion and, in the case of the materials for Savage Girl, extraordinary beautiful (thanks to the brilliance of the Viking design team). We also offer recipes for cocktails in the Gilded Age spirit and a terrific playlist that you can access on Spotify. And of course I answered some questions. So check out Viking’s on-line book club kit — whether or not you have a reading group of your own. Or maybe you’ll be inspired to start one up. (Warning: there might be spoilers in some of the questions.)
