# Fun Icebreaker Questions for a First Book Club Meeting
A first book club meeting should make it easy for everyone to speak before the discussion becomes detailed. Begin with one question that does not depend on finishing the book or remembering a specific passage.
## Easy opening prompts
- Which book cover has stayed in your memory?
- Do you prefer reading in silence or with background sound?
- What fictional place would you visit for one afternoon?
- Would you rather meet an author or a favorite character?
- What makes you give a new book another chapter?
- Which genre do you choose when you want something familiar?
Ask each person to choose one prompt. Keep the round to five minutes and make passing normal. If the group is large, pair people for the first answer and then invite two or three volunteers to share with everyone.

The opener should make the later book discussion easier. One clear question usually works better than a long game with complicated rules.
