Default MB Book Club Discussion: Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino



This month's book for the book club is Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino. Get reading!

Here are some discussion questions from a google search to kick you off

Spoiler for .:
-What was your favorite part of the book?

-What was your least favorite?

-Did you race to the end, or was it more of a slow burn?

-What did you think of the writing? Are there any standout sentences?

-Did you reread any passages? If so, which ones?

-Would you want to read another book by this author?

-Did reading the book impact your mood? If yes, how so?

-What surprised you most about the book?

-How did your opinion of the book change as you read it?

-If you could ask the author anything, what would it be?

-How does the book's title work in relation to the book's contents? If you could give the book a new title, what would it be?

-Is this book overrated or underrated?

-Did this book remind you of any other books?

-How did it impact you? Do you think you'll remember it in a few months or years?

-Would you ever consider re-reading it? Why or why not?

-Who do you most want to read this book?

-Are there lingering questions from the book you're still thinking about?


This should be easy to pick up (and worthy of your bookshelf imo), but if you need help with a pdf copy, please send me a PM.

p.s. if you're looking for reading music for this, the Winged Victory for the Sullen's ambient/modern classical soundtrack to a stage performance of the book might be of interest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfRNN4pp0_A
