  9. Chicagoland book club: Rachel Jacobsohn's Socratic method

    <strong>One thing to know about your book group: </strong>This is more literature seminar than coffee klatch. That's partly because the books are so challenging (&ldquo;A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian&rdquo; by Marina Lewycka?) and partly because our leader, Rachel Jacobsohn, uses the Socratic method to help us extract and explore a book's themes. Some of the women have been in the group for 35 years, and that's why.

  10. Champaign-Urbana book club

    <b>One thing to know about our club:</b> Our Champaign- Urbana book club has been meeting monthly since 1983 and has read more than 280 books. More than half of our members have belonged since the club began. Our very first book was "One Hundred Years of Solitude" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, which immediately scared off several members. Fifteen years later, we attempted the book again, and fortunately no members were lost. From years of planning our reading schedules, we've learned that it's easier to curl up with a classic in the cold winter months and that lighter fiction is best to read in the sunshine. We've tried our hand at everything from acting out "A Doll's House" by Henrik Ibsen and "Richard III" by William Shakespeare to writing haiku to going to movies based on books we've read. Most of us are Cubs fans, all of us are Blackhawks fans, some of us once lived in Chicago, many of us have children living in Chicago, and we have read many books by Chicago authors or about Chicago.
