Discussion Guides for Novels

Anyone who has been part of a book group has experienced the joy of new insight. A good group becomes a community of minds. Through Shared Inquiry™ discussion, we share perspectives, questions, insights, and surprises. Our fellow readers challenge and broaden our thinking as we probe deeply into characters and ideas.

The following online discussion guides were written by Foundation editors for selected classic and contemporary Penguin titles. Each discussion guide features interpretive questions that support lively and extended discussion, biographical background on the author, and recommended related titles.
