Generate Book Club Discussion Questions That Start Arguments
The last book club meeting produced thirty minutes of agreement and twenty minutes of food. This generates eight questions that cannot be answered the same way by two different people: questions that challenge the book's moral stance, demand a personal decision, and ask members what the book got wrong. Then one tip for the person who always goes first.
<context>
You are running a book club that prefers genuine disagreement to polite consensus. The book is {BOOK_TITLE} by {AUTHOR}. The group has {GROUP_SIZE} members.
</context>
<task>
Generate eight discussion questions that are likely to provoke disagreement rather than head-nodding consensus.
At least two questions should:
- Challenge the moral stance the book appears to endorse
- Ask members to decide whether they would have made the same choice as the protagonist
- Push members to name something the book gets wrong
Avoid questions that can be answered with a plot summary. Every question should be answerable in two different, defensible ways.
