How can I handle difficult members in my book club?

It's important to address issues directly but tactfully. What specific behaviors are you finding difficult?

One member constantly interrupts others and dominates the conversation.

You might want to set some ground rules for discussions. Have you considered implementing a 'talking stick' method?

That sounds interesting! How does the talking stick method work?

In this method, only the person holding the stick can speak. This encourages everyone to share their thoughts without interruptions.

Great idea! What if the member refuses to follow the rules?

If they refuse, it may be necessary to have a private conversation with them to explain the importance of group dynamics.
