Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Today, we’re wrapping up our Nonfiction November book club discussion. Again, I know this is a long one, so I’ll leave the discussion link-up open until Dec 15th. Once again, I’ll give you just the questions and then the questions with my answers so you can choose to ignore my answers until you’ve written your own if you like.
My answers and a link-up for sharing your answers are below. Read more »
Hi everyone! Welcome to the Nonfiction November edition of our nonfiction book club! I hope you’re all enjoying Neurotribes as much as I am and are just as excited to discuss this thought-provoking book. I know it’s a long one, so I’ll keep the link-up at the bottom of the post all month, so you can join the discussion at your own pace. First, I’ll just give you the discussion questions and then you can keep reading for my answers, that way it’s easy to wait to read my answers until after you’ve written your own if you like. So, here is our first set of discussion questions!
1. Had you heard of Henry Cavendish before? What do you think the author’s purpose was for beginning with the story of two famous physicists who were autistic? Was your reaction when his eccentricities were first described different because he was a nobleman living in the 1700s, instead of a contemporary?
2. What do you think of the doctors promising autism cures?
3. Do you think the author is unbiased? Do you feel like their are any particular points he’s trying to make? If so, is he doing a good job making them
4. How do you like the book so far?
My answers and the link-up are below. Read more »
I’m excited to announce that for December, Lory of Emerald City Book Review has invited the Nonfiction Book Club to do a joint read-along with her Reading New England challenge. For December we’ll be reading The Mayflower by Nathaniel Philbrick. I’ve been wanting to read one of his books since I started hearing good things about his In the Heart of the Sea when it was made into a movie last year. Our discussion questions will be posted as follows:
Dec 11th – Part I and II Discussion Questions
Dec 22nd – Part III and IV Discussion Questions
I hope you’ll join us this month learning about the history of New England!
In addition to kicking off Nonfiction November today, we’re also starting our Nonfiction book club read. As a reminder, here’s the schedule:
Nov 10th – Chapter 1-6 Discussion Questions Posted
Nov 24th – Chapter 7-12 Discussion Questions Posted
I just picked this up for a library and it’s quite a chunkster, so I’d also like to remind you that I’ll be leaving the discussion link-ups open until the end of November. Then you can jump in as you can.
For me, the second half of this book was very similar to the first and equally enjoyable! I hope you’ve all had a good time with it too. I’ve got just a few more questions to wrap us up for the month and then I’ll reveal our November read below. Read more »
