inShowerthought: Our book club's rule to always have a leader makes discussions stiff
That reminds me of a movie group I was in that got way too into rules. We had a three question limit per person and a strict time clock. Felt like a board meeting, not friends talking. After seeing how well rotating leaders worked for @thomas.viola's thing, we just dropped all the rules cold turkey. The first week was messy, sure, but then the quiet people finally spoke up and the talk went to weird places, like why every film from that year used the same blue color grade. It was way better.
