I thought our club's rule about reading the book twice was a total waste of time
Our group in Seattle has this rule where you read the book once, discuss it, then read it again before the final debate. I thought it was pointless busywork for the first 6 months I was a member. Then we did it with 'The Remains of the Day' and I caught so many subtle hints about the butler's past on the second pass that I completely missed. My whole argument about his character changed because I noticed a repeated phrase about light in three different chapters. Now I'm a believer. Has your club ever tried a method like this that sounded silly but actually worked?

Did that light metaphor on page 47 land differently the second time for you too?
