From the foreword:
I suppose you could say that the real, hidden subject of a book group discussion is the book group members themselves. I think they are quite brave. They are ready to reveal, in semi-public, their own reactions, their own biases and doubts and convictions, and above all their own tastes; not everyone dares.
-Margaret Atwood
