Intention: The purpose of Book Club is to come together and learn, share and grow by creating an environment that is not judgmental and is free from distractions.
Keep all conversation on topic of the reading up to that point.
Share what you learned experienced and feel.
All side-bar conversations and off topic questions can be addressed after Book Club around 11:30. They are distracting and sometimes off-putting.
Have fun and be yourself. Some of us (me) don't filter their language.
