Lit Chat

Each of the 50 cards in this conversation deck is printed with two reading-themed questions (100 questions total). The questions in range in format: some invoke books that are tied to memories (name your favorite childhood picture book); others prompt you to choose ideal reading material for a hypothetical situation (if you were a stranded on a desert island, what book would want with you?) Some cards aim to get people comparing their favorite (and not-so-favorite) characters or authors, and others engage in popular debates amongst readers (name a movie adaptation you liked and defend your choice). Created to give readers of all persuasions an excuse to talk about books, ideas, and life itself, this deck is a great addition to any booklover's shelf.
