Read the essayThe reading companion
A one-hour book conversation
A practical guide to bring into your next reading session. Take what is useful and make it your own.
Open the reading guide- First ten minutes: invite each person to share one reaction without interruption. Passing is always an option.
- Next fifteen minutes: choose a scene. Compare what each reader noticed before moving to broader themes.
- Next fifteen minutes: explore one disagreement. Ask which detail supports each interpretation, without turning the discussion into a vote.
A note about Novafyro
Make room for another perspective.
Novafyro publishes resources you can use with friends, a small reading group or your own notebook. We do not run a membership programme or advertise scheduled events. Our aim is simpler: to help a conversation move beyond whether everyone liked the book.
