Generate Book Club Discussion Questions

Running a book club where one person devoured it and another skimmed the last third needs questions that work for both. Give it the title, author and group size and it generates twelve questions in three tiers: easy plot-and-feeling openers, closer-reading questions on theme and structure, and personal ones that get people talking. Saves you scrambling for prompts the night before.

Generate 12 rich discussion questions for a book club reading {BOOK_TITLE} by {AUTHOR_NAME}. The group has {GROUP_SIZE} members with mixed reading experience. Organise the questions into three tiers: four questions that any member can engage with regardless of how closely they read (plot and feeling); four questions that reward closer reading (theme, structure, symbolism); and four questions that push into personal response and wider context (what the book says about society, the reader's own life, or the author's other work). Each question should be genuinely open-ended: no yes/no answers possible. Flag one question per tier as the best conversation-starter.
